I have a friend who wants to play World of Warcraft, but has a paralyzing fear of spiders. He just can't handle seeing them. I was wondering if the demand were high enough for an option to replace the spider models in game with some other model.
It actually is a psychological treatment called Flooding. That's like the one thing I remember about my Psychology class cause it was incredibly fascinating. Apparently humans will reach a point where it just breaks the phobia if you're continually exposed to it and its extremely effective. Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional and this is the extent of what I didn't sleep through in my one Psychology class. |
