I see. how does it work....the process is simple you just expose your self to what ever you fear for how ever long you can stand it, then take a break and do it again, and again, how ever many times it takes you /your alter to not be afraid any more.

why does it work, no idea, it just works in some people and doesnt in others just like one medication can work in one person and not work in another. everyone has their own ways that work for them.

maybe you can do a google search on ....exposure therapy....and that might have more scientific, psychological or medical explanation.
