My partner Kuldish and I have been researching and trying out different techniques to overcome our fears from reptiles such as snakes. We realized that self-help is a much better technique than hypnosis. Self-help lets you control yourself and deal with your own emotions, while hypnosis allows another person to control you and your emotions. Kuldish and I watched many videos to help us understand that snakes and other reptiles will not cause harm to us. One of the videos we watched were  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXFofP-xcts this video helped Kuldish and I, to have a better understanding of reptiles and there behavior, also that there is nothing to worry about when it comes to handling reptiles. By watching these videos Kuldish and I realized that we only think of reptiles as dangerous things because we hear and see things that tell us they are but actually they are harmless.  Together we are still trying many other techniques until we actually go visit the reptile center, when the time comes Kuldish and I will be prepared to overcome one of our biggest fears.  

 
My partner and I have been researching about how a person can get over there fears of reptiles, such as snakes lizards and many other scary reptiles. We are using techniques such as psychology and self-hypnosis to overcome our biggest fears of reptiles. Together we are using different kinds of methods that involve funny drawings of the reptiles. This will make us understand that there is nothing to be scared of reptiles, and they do no harm to us. My partner Kuldish and I have been researching places where we can go visit reptiles to overcome our fears. Together we found a decent place that has more than 90 reptiles and 250 animals, at the Cinema Reptile center. When we visit the reptile center we will take pictures and make videos of us holding the reptiles and overcoming our fears. The site we have visited to find the location and to gain more knowledge about the Cinema Reptile center is: http://www.cinemazoo.com/contact.html, The sites we have used to find out more about psychology and self- hypnosis are http://phobias.about.com/od/phobiaslist/a/ophidiophobia.htm, and http://phobias.about.com/od/phobiaslist/a/herpetophobia.htm. We also read many books to gain more information about techniques to overcome fears. We are planning to visit the reptile center near the end of December,  and try to see if this genius hour project is a positive outcome.
