Phobies… dire non à la peur
Every day, thousands of people fall victim to uncontrollable fears. Phobias—which have many scientific designations, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder—paralyse and poison their existence.
During the program, individuals who have decided to face their fears share with viewers not only the nightmare of their affliction but also the difficult process that will lead to healing. Therapists and specialists monitor and guide this process. Their actions help us to understand the complex mechanisms at work behind these phobias while showing us the no less difficult mechanisms that need to be set in motion in order to achieve healing. Facing one’s fear is already an enormous step. In this series, we are able to measure the tremendous courage required of the 13 participants who agreed to make their efforts public.
