Year 12 psychology students attended the London Zoo Phobias Workshop yesterday. The students were able to learn more about the background and treatment of phobias from a Clinical Psychologist. They had the opportunity to engage in a brief session of hypnotherapy that is successfully used in the ‘Friendly Spider Program’ at the zoo to treat people with Arachnophobia. At the end, students also had the option to handle a ‘friendly spider’ too!
