Dr. Holleran may write:

Jamie suffers feels anxious when she is in certain situations. She feels likes she can't breath and her heart races very fast. In fact, she feels like she may faint when she is in this situation. She flew on an airplane one time across the country and experienced a great deal of turbulence during her flight. She now refuses to see her grandmother who lives in Hawaii.

A student may write:

I think Jamie has a phobia of flying. How might a psychologist treat this? Maybe they would use a type of exposure therapy?

Dr. Holleran would reply:

You are correct! A psychologist could gradually expose Jamie to flying on an airplane to help cure her of the phobia. Maybe they could start by driving to the airport. Then they would eventually go into the airport and make it to the gate. Then, they could step into the airplane. Eventually she might be able to ride in an airplane. Can anyone else think of another way to treat her disorder?
