Is your phobia destroying your life, ruining your relationships or getting in the way of your happiness? If YES, then fear not! The BBC is looking for people to take part in a brand new groundbreaking programme which aims to help people overcome their worst phobias and alter their lives for the better. Leading experts will guide you through the latest treatments and using new, highly successful techniques, they will aim to train your mind to overcome your phobia and dramatically change your life forever.

We’ve received the following press release from Emma Young at the BBC, who let us know that they are currently in production with a programme called “Panic Room”, aimed at helping people overcome extreme phobias and anxieties that can severely hinder their daily lives. They have enlisted experts who specialise in cognitive, thought and behavioural therapies in order to help participants to overcome their fears so they can attempt to live a normal life. After therapy, participants will be asked to endure what is known as the “Panic Room” which aims to test these treatments. They will follow each participant as they undergo their treatment and the challenge to conquer their fear.

Does the thought of spiders make your skin crawl?

Does your fear of flying send you soaring into panic?

Does your fear of social gatherings make you stay at home?

Do you panic at the thought of using a public toilet or become panic stricken at the sight of a needle?

Has your fear prevented or disrupted holidays with friends and family?

Cost you promotion at work?

Is your phobia destroying your life, ruining your relationships or getting in the way of your happiness?

If your phobia is controlling your life, then fear not: we can help.
