I would recommend systematic desensitization. This can be done with a therapist or on your own. Basically, it starts with imagining the thing you fear, and slowly, working your way up to facing it (like seeing a snake in a cage in a pet store).

Answer 3

well i would say theropy, pros on your specific phobia can come up with a plan to help you. doesnt sound good to you? try making a plan, yourself, try also to create a mantralike "they're not out to get me" or something simular. also visiting a museum may help, learning about snakes or seeing them in captivity may lesson your fear and help you build respect instead of dread. hope i helped
