I overcame fear of snakes by buying one. 25 years living in fear, not going to the woods, zoos, it's all gone and he's my best friend now. Best feeling in the world. I have won this battle
If she did not consent I would say it was cruel. But clearly she consented because she thought it would benefit her. If she wanted to leave I'm sure they would let her...if not that's a little messed and would probably cause more anxiety/trauma tbh.
I suggest a gradual exposure therapy would do. There should be a conceptual schedule what kind of exposure they would do. Well, for this kind of exposure can affect some heart problem factors or it can increase patients anxiety.
It's not the only way to get over a phobia, there are other techniques e.g. systematic desensitisation and cognitive therapies. systematic desensitisation is less traumatic and people prefer it
@@septan4168 that's the ENTIRE point. The client realizes the anxiety is illogical... for this to work, the client HAS to experience fear and overcome it.
For anyone who’s scared of snakes, but wants to try to get over it, I recommend ball pythons. They’re probably the most friendly snakes. Very cute and sweet.
That's pretty interesting how it all works. It makes sense. You cannot overcome an irrational fear if you've never truly experienced the irrational fear face-to-face. I was referred to this video for further study in my psych 102 course and I'm glad I watched it. We, and by we I mean normal people who have not studied psychology, look at irrational fears people have as funny, stupid, sad etc. and normally people would use this against someone, whether for amusement or otherwise. For example, if there are two friends and one has a phobia of snakes the other friend may put a rubber snake somewhere to scare them. It's very similar to this except in this exposure therapy the woman had full control of the situation. I had actually guided my girlfriend through a very similar process and had no idea that I was using exposure therapy. She would tell me that when she is home, alone or with family, she would avoid their sliding glass back door at all costs at night. I asked her why and she could not give me a rational reason. She would tell me that she feels like if she looks someone will be there and would hurt her. At first, I asked her if she had any prior life experiences of that nature and she told me no so over a course of a couple of weeks I kept urging her to take small steps to try to counter her fear. At first I urged her to not avoid the door, to go into the room once or twice at night and walk out. Then when she responded positively to that I urged her to stay in the room longer, maybe sit down and read a book, she did and responded positively. Then I urged her to approach the door at night, with the blinds closed and stand there for a moment, she did this a couple of times and once again responded positively. Then I told her to go into the room, approach the door and open the blinds - that's when I hopped out with a chainsaw... Just kidding, no really she did it and responded positively. Lastly I convinced her to go into the room, approach the door, open the blinds, open the door and walk outside. Ever since then she hasn't had an issue with her phobia. It's amazing to study psychology and the way the mind works and be able to apply it back to life experiences when you didn't even know you were performing a type of therapy on yourself or others.
I fear that if that poor man walked up to me that snake I would punch him in the throat and run like I was on fire until I found a safe place to crap myself and pass out. I love animals, but I have always been pathetically afraid of snakes. :(
I too have snake phobia.And I understand what many of are saying that it is normal to be scared of snakes.But phobias are fears that may be irrational.At one stage even someone talking of snakes made me cringe and I would block my ears and lift my feet up on a chair . Through self implied graduated exposure via digital media, I am now open to sharing my phobia and doing something about it.I think it will better prepare me to deal with a confrontation, if ever.
I used to be terrified of bugs, cockroaches to be specific. Then I held a Madagascar hissing cockroache and not only did my fear of roaches end, but so did my fear of bugs. Now I own a pet cockroach and am able to pick up spiders and insects to release them. It really works.
It's intresting how phobias make people react. Me myself have a phobia of rats and mice, but i have no problem seeing them on TV or pictures for example or even in the wild. I do however freak out if i see them indoors or hear them inside the walls and last but not least if they are in traps. I don't get panic attacks and start crying like her if i see someone with a rat in their hand, but i would feel very uncomfortable if i had to touch them. When it comes to snakes, the people fearing them can't even see a picture of them without freaking out. That's why i think that fear of snakes and spiders could be cured easiley with exposure therapy like this, but i'm not sure about rats since it's a diffrent kind of fear. People who fear snakes fear that they will die or be attacked by them, that's why she cries initially from just seeing it, but they seldom see snakes in the wild and see them on pictures now and then. With mice and rats -and i speak for myself- it's more a fear rather than panic, but you constantly have that fear. I can't throw stuff in the trash bin, i can't go down to the cellar or up the attic, i can't walk through a dark room and i have nightmares and see or hear rats in everything. If i see something blink, i think it's a rat, if i hear something make a sound, i think it's a rat and so on. It disturbs my everyday life in winters and i feel surrounded. Exposure of live animals would probably only make it worse, but exposure to dead animals could work since i must get used to taking them out of traps or seeing them in traps without shitting myself.
This is a very intrepid woman. Many snake-phobics would state categorically that there is no way they could ever overcome their fear of snakes. As long as they have that attitude, they are probably right.
Being both an addiction counselor and a snake handler I find this interesting. How can I get a job doing this? My albino ball python "Snowball" is an amazing ambassador animal to introduce to people who don't like snakes.

Everyone is like "Well duh it makes sense to be afraid of snakes". No it doesn't, not all snakes are venomous and not all snakes are big enough to constrict you. I dislike spiders, but I know not all of them have the ability to kill me.
I have the same fear by in terms of speed , if i drive 120 KM per hour a car or bike i feel ok but if someone else is driving just on 60 I feel heart attack
Exposure therapy is tough, but the key is to focus on the outcome that you want for yourself-- to be able to fly again, go camping with the family, etc.
I'd like to see how she does without all her co-workers and her boss there and outside her workplace. The pressure to overcome this anxiety in the presence of these individuals skews the results. I don't think that it's a lasting cure. She has to overcome her fear because of the pressure of the scenario. I'd like to see the same results in a non-clinical setting. All of the people present have some bearing on her livelihood. She has no choice but to appear cured. She is tolerating her anxiety, the anxiety is not gone. She still has anxiety about snakes but she was able to control it.
I went through exposure therapy for a debilitating fear of snakes about 8 years ago and can attest it works amazingly well. My treatment therapist told me that I will never get to a point where I have no discomfort around snakes but that I should think of it as getting to a place where I can look at snakes the same way I would look at decomposing roadkill. It is highly unpleasant, but I don't go into fight or flight.
I have fear of snakes and spiders. I have bought some tarantulas spiderlings and even let one walk on my hand without freaking out. Now I want to overcome snake phobia. Not sure I want one as a pet though.
I have a scorpion phobia ... seeing a scorpion makes me cringe as much as I can ... random screams and strange horrors ...I don't understand that even if a scorpion has a small child, I tremble from head to toe
Im not afraid of snakes but im very impressionable so being around this girl would make me very afraid of snakes. Especially if shes acting like that..
Give me a snake any day.. what I fear is Palmetto bugs. And they fly too! They don't bite or hurt you so I think the main fear is #1 they are absolutely disgusting looking #2 they tend to pop up out of nowhere and run and they run and hide FAST. and if they don't run they will fly right at you!!!!!!! making a sound no less. So how in the Hell do I get over this.
+bestieverhad xo Being afraid and having a phobia are two completely different kinds of fear. Being afraid is having a rational explanation, or reason, for your fear. For example, I am afraid to go 100 mph down the highway; rational fear, there is a high chance of having an accident which could result in serious injury or death etc. An example of a phobia is if I was afraid of going 100 mph down the highway because I believe that I would definitely have an accident, definitely get injured or definitely die. I personally do not like snakes, I am afraid of them to the point where I will avoid them but my anxiety level does not shoot through the roof if I happen to see one. I do not cower in the corner, begin to cry, shake, hyperventilate etc. at the sight or mention of a snake. This is a simple example of one phobia, of many, that they were able to treat with exposure therapy. There are people out there who have phobias of kittens, rabbits, lighters, books etc. The list goes on. It is completely irrational to freak out, have your anxiety level spike through the roof, run away screaming, crying and having a panic attack at the sight of an object, animate or inanimate. Mind you, if you see a bomb or something like that, I think we all would agree that we wouldn't walk up and touch it, play with the wires, see what the red button does... So you have to be able to distinguish the difference between a ration and irrational fear. The video even states that the woman had absolutely no contact with snakes in her life, no bad experiences etc. in fact she even admits that the fear has no cause what-so-ever.
I know this comment is 8 years old but it is really stpid that i have to reply. If you are afraid of snakes so much so that you can't even look at a snake on tv, then it is irrational.
people of the world, may you not be offended by my childish comment: i'm sorry i don't understand humans afraid of harmless things. souds so crazy. example: i'm afraid of a chair. how can you be afraid of a chair bro? we are humans, supposed to be the 'top of the chain' all with phobia, go and face it. does it sounds normal to be afraid of such things. okk i get it. i am also afraid of a snake if it is poisonous. other than that lions, hippos, gorillas, my dad and maths exams. i am afraid of 'things' that are serious. i still don't understand people with phobia. like: 'hey man, i am afraid of scobby doo' doesn't make any sense. so if 2+2 = 4 then how can one be afraid of harmless things. i guess i have some problems... because i still can't understand crying when seeing a snake (for example)
I think she din't have a problem with snakes compared to me. I am still unable to approach snakes a few meters apart even if they are in one's hand. And if dome one try to put it around my neck either I die or the guy! My case is hopless I think.
I dont believe in exposure therapy. I have been around snakes for 17 years. Have handled fed, and been struck at. My fear has never lessened. We have had sand boas, retail boas, rainbow boa, balls pythons, rock python, cornsnakes, a couple years ago my husband got into venomous, copperheads, blacktail rattles snakes, western diamond back rattlesnake, gaboon vipers and monocled cobras. I live with 35 snakes right now mostly venomous. I don't remember when my fear of snakes started or why. In my situation now I feel my fears Justified but before I still was scared
There not slimy and besides they are fun to have and a snake like a ball python makes a good family pet. (I mean not as good as a dog) but still fun to have. Usually pet snakes rarely bite and when they do they don't latch on its usually so quick you wont notice and the odds are thin.
Ya and besides humans are the sickest species on the planet. We kill the environment and we pushed snakes out of there home and we kill them when they are in there habitat. They deserve more respect. the only reason why people get bit is because unexperienced people bother them.
Ok, this is pushing the rational concept of Fear way too far. I think most of us are afraid of snakes; we do not usually live with snakes, we do not go to the stores having to interact with snakes all over the ramen aisles. We do not need to learn how to eliminate this kind of fear; something pragmatic, please!
Lets say she also had social phobia. Achieving one goal(overcoming fear) can help her mind feel more confident about getting over any other irrational fear
Wow, really proud of sarah silverman, She did a great job conquering her fear.
And a great job with the accent.

How's your snake doing? They must be still alive, snakes tend to live for a long-ass time.
Same here. Every time I handle my snake my heart rate spikes but its getting easier :)
Similarly, Old, Swedish Penn Jillette was surprisingly compassionate and mild mannered in his brief stint as a therapist.
@@CorrectsYou hey there. He's gorgeous. He's 1.5m long and 3.5 years old. Cool guy. Love him
Being exposed to something that causes fear isn't cruel, It's the only way to get over a fear
If she did not consent I would say it was cruel. But clearly she consented because she thought it would benefit her. If she wanted to leave I'm sure they would let her...if not that's a little messed and would probably cause more anxiety/trauma tbh.

That's what I did to get over my fear. Went from intense fear to no fear within 4 months. I have 4 ball pythons now.
I love the simple yet effective idea from the doctor
i even couldn't watch that guy tying to show/give her snake...so I don't know if i could handle the treatment..Now i have Phobia for treatment.
You would start out with something way less intense than that
