woolybanana Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 No she is not at all. And having her phobia mocked by the arse holes who made that programme made me boil. My daughter is a clinical psychologist who sees the results of phobias everyday; lives spoiled, attempted suicides and the rest. You people wouldn't laugh at someone who limped or was alleregic to say cheese, would you, so why have a go at that kid. Imagine that your child could not go outside out of pure terror of open spaces.Sorry guys, choose people who can fight back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Think I have just developed a fear of Bananas.Sorry if that upset you Wooly, I did not laugh when I watched it I was amazed then sadened.your daughter is a clinical psychologist who sees the result of phobias every day, does she still live at home?well you did say we could and you will fight back.

woolybanana Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Unzip a banana, feel its shape, smooth it through your fingers, then slowly place it between your teeth, feel the texture. No teeth, ever, just slowly bend it and it will willingly break to do your will.If daughter was at home, I would be the one screaming. But she is a good Banana though, loves her dad.She is in Brussels and has just published the book referenced in my signature, on, basically, eating problems. She tries to save them but sometimes the problems are too deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Come on Wooly, I don't think anyone is poking fun at the type of afflictions you describe, me included.'er indoors is a BACP qualified counsellor and hypnotherapist and trained in NLP with Paul McKenna and Richard Bandler so I do know how debilitating some phobias can be, but GHERKINS!....nah, obviously a trigger of some sort for that girl but hardly in the same league. It's not about pickles either BTW.I agree the programme was cruel but that sort of sick exploitative 'entertainment' is what The Maur Show specialses in so she knew exactly what to expect.

Renaud Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Wooly - according to Amazon, people who buy your daughters book go on to buy: Les Contes de Beedle le Barde de J-K Rowling.Clearly Ms Hayward is a wizard writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 This I must tell her as she will be tickled pink. Especially as she hasn't been able to get any copies for herself yet and so the old man has not yet had his freebie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russethouse Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I have a friend with a Pea phobia.......what harm has the humble pea ever done ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Scoff yea not oh scoffy ones!As a child I used to have a recurring nightmare about peas. I would often be terrified of falling asleep in case I had the nightmare, so of course it became a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. I could only eat peas if I didn't chew them, they had to be swallowed whole.I'm perfectly all right now though, mostly [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulT Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I work with someone who has a phobia about windmills.If she knows that a windmill is in a certain place she will avoid it.I think a number of people with phobias think they are irrational and understand that people will think them 'odd' but cannot do anything about them.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 A phobia is by definition irrational, and I m fed up being said a mouse would do no harm to me I KNOW IT !!!!! [6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Âme Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Frenchie, I dont think that's irrational at all. The mouse has a lot to answer for.
