Did you ever overcome a deep fear or phobia?

I mean, kind of? I'm still not fully over it, but ever since I was chased by a bumblebee when I was five, I was terrified of bees, wasps, etc.

For me, exposure in a safe way was how I fixed that. I educated myself about the benefits of honeybees, bumblebees, and other beneficial insects, as well as learning about all the bee mimics who couldn't hurt a flea, literally.

You still won't catch me relaxing if there's a yellow jacket or other wasp flying around, because those guys are actually dangerous. But I can observe bees pollinating flowers without hitting the ceiling, and I actually find it relaxing. Cute little guys.
