Ophidiophobia

Ophidiophobia is a particular fear of snakes, which is sometimes referred to as [|Herpetophobia] , which is a general term for the fear of reptiles. It is one of the most common phobias, regularly portrayed on television. Many people fear the venom which snakes possess. Some researches believe that this particular phobia might have been evolutionary, however there are doubts about it – because meanwhile the fear of snakes is so common, the fear of tigers and such dangerous predators is rare. The majority agrees that the fear is rather learned than obtained from the genetics. A past experience might be involved, when the interaction with snakes might have caused unpleasant emotions. The most common treatments for snake phobia are based on [|cognitive-behavioral therapy] techniques. You may be encouraged to talk about your fear and taught new messages to replace your fearful self-talk. You may also be slowly exposed to snakes, beginning with photographs and gradually building up to a live encounter with a small snake in a controlled environment. In general, the fear of snakes does not interfere with an individual’s daily life, unless you live in the areas where snakes are most likely to be in the habitat. Major cities do not interact with such issues, whereas you need to avoid zoos and reptile exhibitions. In a natural manner, if you live closely to nature of hot climates you are in need to overcome your phobia.
