She said at my last session that I should constantly face my fears and not to avoid them. Can someone explain this to me? If I’m scared of swimming in the lake why should I make it a point to go swimming in the lake? since that’s unreasonable since I don’t live by a lake. The main thing she said is I shouldn’t avoid my fears of spiders. But why do I need to face my fear of spiders when I don’t encounter them at all, have one for a pet or anything? Am I just supposed to go find spiders to help me face my fear? Sometimes I feel like she’s a bit new age. Or just cuckoo.
