The theory is that slow exposure to the things which you fear will lead you to conquer the fear.
So, maybe you should start by looking at magazines about amputations, then visit a place where they sell the prosthetics, then work your way up to meeting a person who has had an amputation.
Good Luck.

I would cure my sister of her biopolar as well. There are (or I shoud say were) times that she would be the most wonderful, caring creative person. She was my best friend. Through the years she has gotten so progressivly worse and she will not even seek treatment. 2 years ago she hit rock bottom I supppose when her and her kids were staying with me and she quietly slipped out the back door, leaving her kids behind. To make a long story short it isn't so much the fact that now we have six kids to raise that bothers me; its that I lost my best friend...thats what hurts the most. The thing is she is still in town and I hear about her all the time. LOL through possibly some cosmic force I have yet to see her myself, luckily. I am filled with such pain and anger over her it is probably better that way. However Sunday we went to get a family portrait done at Wal-Mart (all 8 of us) and my sister was there. My oldest son was taking her youngest to the bathroom and they saw her. The thing is she turned around and saw her daughter and ran. I will never understand how a mother can actually run and hide from her own child. *On a side note these are the questions that keep me coming here. The ones where we can share on deepest sorrows and our greatest joys...our spiritual journey so to speak. I have been getting violation notices on roughly 50% of my questions and I was prepared to come in here today with guns blazing! This however was the very first question I saw...

I dunno if you are willing, but there a lot of techniques out there that help people get over their phobias. Systematic desensitization is one of the most effective ones. You are taught how to relax your entire body and the anxiety producing stimulus is presented gradually while you still relaxed. The phobic stimuli is either imagined or really brought to you. This is done until you can be totally relaxed in the face of your phobia. It is obviously best done by a psychologist who knows how to do it correctly
