(I can't imagine, but then I'm afraid of spiders) Dr. Phil did a show on phobias and a lady afraid of frogs was on. He did very well w/her in a matter of minutes. First he talked to her about the irrationality of the fear. She knew it was irrational. He then drew a picture of a frog and she was not afraid of that. He talked more about what she felt the frog would do to her & she sort of talked herself out of the fear altogether. He did mention that seeing a live frog would be important to help get over the fear. I agree w/the other message about getting a small cute one to hold, but then I guess she is not going to think this is cute. If none of this works, PLEASE email me & I'll come & get all of them! We have no toads at our house.
