I have a strong phobia?
I am afraid of snakes and have been through my mid to late teens and all of my adult life. I am no longer afraid to see them on television ( unless they are striking something), I can see them in an aquarium, I can deal with people holding them, I am not afraid of them biting me, and I am not afraid of being poisoned by them, the smaller they are, the scarier they are, I don't know where this fear developed from, but it is interfering with my everyday life, I am afraid to walk in grass, sometimes I am even afraid to walk up to people's front doors. I begin to shake and cry violently whenever I see one out in the wild.
If you have gone through a strong phobia like this and have gotten through it, what are some of the things that you did to get through it?

Oh honey, you are as afraid of snakes as my sister is to spiders. :) She freaks out when she sees them. Sounds like you are doing everything you can to over come your phobia. I would suggest you try holding a snake. Or feeding the snake. They are more scared of you, than you should be of them. I know you have probably heard of this time and again. But it is true. Go to this web site and hope it helps.

Why is it wrong with being afraid of snakes?, they are a representation of evil from the bible.
They are creepy and I'm o.k. with never coming in contact with one for as long as I live.
My dad on the other hand was one of those preachers that use to pick them up in church to show his faith, made mom crazy!
You don't have to get over everything, I wont ever fly in an airplane or ever pick up a snake, and I'm fine with that.
