...according to Steve Spears, staff writer for Florida's St. Petersburg Times. Spears conducted some extremely indepth and thorough research to come up with his list of phobias; he searched on Yahoo.
In any case, I thought it would be interesting to blog about his findings. The top five Yahoo searches for phobias are:
1. AGORAPHOBIA - The fear of being in places where help may not be available. For example, you're driving cross-country and your car breaks down hundreds of miles from civilazation, with no help to be found.
2. HAUNTED HOUSE PHOBIA - Yes, for real. Is there an official term for this? I don't think so, but I would love for somebody to correct me on this.
3. ACROPHOBIA: Fear of heights - a very common phobia that we work with at the Sanders Hypnosis Center in Pasadena, MD.
4. LEPORIPHOBIA: Check this one out. This phobia is the fear of mutant bunny rabbits or, more specifically, the Easter Bunny. Yes, killer bunnies.
5. ARACHNAPHOBIA: Most people are familiar with this thanks to the movie by the same name. The fear of spiders is another common issue we see at the Sanders Hypnosis Center. So, yes, if you have arachnaphobia, come see us and you'll soon have your very own pet tarantula.
