Dave
The fish.
He isn’t sure when it started. His dad used to go fishing, and Dave
didn’t like watching him cleaning the fish. When he was about
seven he started feeling afraid when he saw his dad coming home
with the fish.
He couldn’t go into supermarkets- the sight of fish made him feel
sick. When he started going out with his wife, he had to ask
her never to eat fish. He can’t go to seafood restaurants, so he only
eats in hamburger restaurants now. It makes life very difficult for
his family.
He saw someone eating an oyster.
He’s started to see a psychologist, but he hasn’t succeeded in
conquering the phobia yet.

53. They get phobias as a result of a bad experience.
Student Book p61
They get phobias as a result of a bad experience.
Some people get phobias and others don’t because it’s in
their genes.
Dr. Atcheson talks about the phobia and helps the patient
to relax. She might show just a picture or cartoon of the phobia.
Then she sometimes shows a movie, and finally she asks the
person to touch the object. In this way, phobias can normally
be treated in just three or four sessions.
