PE Assignment
Storyboard Text
- Hey John, would you like to come have dinner?
- Sure.
- Hey, why aren't you going in the lift?
- I have a phobia of closed spaces, I don't want to go in the lift...
- Would you rather take the stairs?
- That would be much better!
- Have you considered trying to control your phobia?
- I would like to, but I'm not sure how..
- John has Claustrophobia, one of the most common phobias. Other common phobias include Acrophobia (fear of heights) and Trypanophobia (fear of needles).
- Maybe you should slowly expose yourself to your phobia, and get used to dealing with it.
- Sounds like a good idea, but a bit scary!
- Taking the stairs instead of the lift is a way to dodge the situation which John wants to avoid. This is a short-term way of dealing with the phobia. Avoiding the phobia is what many people do when they are confronted by one.
- Thank you, for understanding my phobia
- No problem! Now, lets go grab dinner...
- Johns friend is suggesting for John to consider long-term ways of dealing with his phobia. That way, in the future he may be able to complete tasks without being affected by his phobia.
- The friend is suggesting a form of exposure therapy, a research proven method of dealing with phobias and PTS. It is generally considered the best way of controlling phobias.
