What a PHOBIA is
Make sure you understand what a "phobia" really is. Everybody has apprehensions about many things, but a true phobia is a totally irrational fear that is far, far beyond the actual threat of danger. It prevents you from functioning normally in a particular area.
For example, I have hydrophobia myself, and there is no way anyone will ever get me within ten feet of a large river or lake, or on anything on the ocean, or even in a pool more than about six feet deep. It just ain't gonna happen!
A person with cynophobia will literally become extremely anxious at the sight of even the smallest, friendliest dog...and so on.
