Episode notes

Today, I talk fears and phobias with Dr Celin Gelgec, a clinical psychologist based in Melbourne, who specialises in Anxiety, OCD, and Phobias. Celin is a Senior Clinical Psychologist & the Director of the Melbourne Wellbeing Clinic. She works with children, adolescents, and adults, who experience Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety and Phobias. I ask Celin: • What are phobias? • What's the difference between a fear and a phobia? • Are some people more predisposed to developing a phobia than others? • Is there an evolutionary bias of phobias? • What are some of the less common phobias? • How do we treat phobias? We also discuss the impact of corona on people with OCD and phobias. Enjoy !
