Show notes

In Part Three of our Fear Series, Jim Carroll and Ralph explore one of psychology's most fascinating topics: phobias. What's the difference between normal fear and a clinical phobia? Why are some people terrified of spiders, heights, needles, or flying, while others aren't? The discussion explains how phobias develop, why avoidance makes them stronger, and why exposure therapy is considered one of psychology's most effective treatments.
