How can you overcome ohpidiophobia, a fear of snakes?

My opinion would be to confront your fear head on, when I started working with snakes I was nervous around them. I began handling small snakes working my way up to the larger ones. After 3 years + of handling them it is almost second nature. go to zoos, and just get close to them. Study them and try to figure out exactly what it is the makes you fear snakes. Knowing why you fear something is half the battle won! GOOD LUCK and I hope everything works out for you

getting counselling or some other form ofhelp would be very beneficial. being able to talk to someone is alot better than using a cd.

Go in for hypnotherapy or counselling on the suggestion of a good doctor or physician.

Do you live near snakes/are snakes prevalent in your area? Were you diagnosed with "ohpidiophobia" or was it a self-diagnosis? Unless there are snakes in your yard or they hang out on your porch-I would not worry about the fear. You will give yourself a new "ailment".
