Question: I live in a suburb outside of Stockholm where there are fine paths for walking and I really ought to use them as I am overweight. I do so in the winter, but in the summer I daren't go into the forest, where they all go, because I am afraid of snakes. I feel almost paralyzed if I see a snake and I imagine that I see snakes sometimes, even when there aren't any. I have had this fear of snakes since childhood and it prevents me from getting some of the exercise I ought to have. I have had psychotherapy for several years and it has been good in many ways. I understand myself much better, but the snake phobia is still there and hasn't improved. What can I do? Tell me about curing a phobia.
