Girl, you scared? In this episode, Christy breaks down the psychology of fear and phobias. We touch on what makes something a fear versus a true phobia, how phobias form, and why our brains hold onto them. We dive into the infamous (and wildly unethical) Little Albert experiment, explore fear conditioning, and unpack some of the most common phobias people experience. Turns out, your irrational fears might not be so irrational after all.  

Ironically, the scariest thing in this episode isn’t spiders, heights, small spaces, or the Little Albert experiment; it’s the audio glitch in the last 10 minutes. We tried to fix it. We rebooted. We bribed chat bestie. The glitch won.  

Hang in there fam and thank you for your bravery.
