[quote=Anonymous]How old is your DC, OP? Are they aware of the issue and willing to work on it? If so, I think you can try working through it together before resorting to therapy. There are anxiety workbooks you can do together, and once you make a plan, work on exposure together. You can't get over a phobia without exposure. If you live in a dog friendly neighborhood, perhaps post on Facebook or Next Door and see if there is someone with a small, older dog that would be willing to help. Have them meet you outside and gradually build up the exposure. We have an incredibly calm, friendly small senior dog that would be perfect. I'm sure there are others in your area that would be happy to help. [/quote]
