| | | Are some people unable to deal with dead bodies? Is it like a phobia? Can be treated with either prolonged exposure or complete sensory immersion to ease the anxiety like a phobia? | | |  | Expert | |

| | | Hello again, A:
Some people? In my view, that would be MOST people. Is it a phobia that can be treated? You can't be serious.

I've never shied away from a serious question, but I DO mock the dumb ones. I'll try to be polite this time. Asking if being weirded out by dead bodies is treatable, is the stupidest question I've EVER been asked.
Is that warm and fuzzy enough for you?

How would a therapist "flood" someone out of his fear of dead bodies? | | | | Junior Member | |

| I intended to relate the two methods of solving phobias to solving anxiety with witnessing a dead body. Seeing a dead body is not a phobia, but anxiety is a symptom of it. I am curious to see if regularly seeing a dead body will decrease the phobia-like symptoms the way that regularly touching a spider will work on an arachnophobia. Flooding is definitively out of the question. I wonder if the human brain will even allow that adaptation to occur knowing how important the fear of death is to survival. | | | | Jobs & Parenting Expert | |
