Fears and Phobias

[Toothy Grin]

Hello Tom, hope you are well and enjoying the summer.

Many people are afflicted with fears and phobias, many of them quite irrational, although a lot quite understandable. Recently I've become very nervous of flying and I've always hated spiders. Is there anything that brings you out in a cold sweat or gives you nightmares,and also was there anything that used to terrify you that you have subsequently managed to overcome your fear of?

Best wishes,

from Mark.

Dear Mark,

I like spiders and I don't mind moths settling on me at night as I read in bed with the windows open. But the thought, just the thought of flying anywhere from any airport fills me with dread. Travel is now a nightmare. Ugh! Being groped at security by strangers with paint stripping halitosis! Yuck! I live in Paradise and I aim to stay here.
