That man was WAY too forceful with her exposure therapy. He is not a trained medical provider. Wow. That was really uncomfortable to watch.

[texmom]

I don’t like his aggressive style of therapy at all. He could further traumatize the client with his approach.

[rachelm]

No, this is not therapy. This is NOT how you overcome fear. He basically just forced dogs onto her. It's lucky she didn't freak out. And I guarantee if you don't deal with the root of fear to begin with, it's going to come out in another way later on. - A reformed cynophobic

[sunshinelove]

I definitely don’t want him helping me with my phobia’s. 😂😬

[TechSav]

Is phobia therapy usually this aggressive? LOOOL

[mercyeyong]

I taught I am the only one who is extremely scare of dogs .i can't .

[Anfmethodjor]

She was lying "I feel better, I do." She was so tense.

[charlotteflair]

I died when she said 'that's a puppy?' 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[redmoonlight]

That doctor was too forceful and aggressive, the whole point is for her to go at her own pace to feel comfortable. This kind of process of therapy could make it worse for some people, thank god for her it didn't. He just jumped into it right away, and was raising his voice. When she was still tense with the small one he brought in the lab right away, and expected her to be petting it. Really? -_-

I know dogs are like people but when i see a dog i just get a feeling in my stomach but i know its not gonna hurt me but i still havethis phobia

[Anfmethodjor]

The trainer is such an amateur. He is going too fast. From never touching a dog to putting a dog in her lap?

[eljordinio]

I can relate to her, I'm REALLY scared of dogs myself

All dogs scare me, regardless of size and harmless or not

[rosieskies]

I used to have a fear of dogs because my neighbor didn’t stop their dog from attacking me. My friend was annoyed that I was scared of her dog so she forced me to overcome my fear by letting her dog in the room with me I begged her to take her dog out of the room she said I needed to get over my fear her dog tried to jump on me because she was excited it made my fear worse..

[JayJayGradyU]

I don't like his style, he was too forceful....

[xyz-rxot]

He is an aggressive unkind doctor geesh

[angelikakrawczyk]

1:14 Wtf he was shouting at her "stop it" 😮

[aalphasplatt]

She grew familiar with ONE dog.. There are so many different breeds with VERY different behaviours. I wish her luck, and I pray I can learn to love dogs. I'm getting better, but my fear still affects my day-to-day life!

[NinjaTurbo]

This is like the worst way to desensitize someone to a phobia. you dont drag the person over to the dog, you slowly build up the confidence for her to do it on her own.

[jasicapal]

He is so mean dang bro that's messed up

[medinab]

My whole family needs a dog phobia session. Not even trying to be funny lmfaooo
