"Well, then,
I would rather not be that funny." [narrator] One 2015 review of 234 studies
compared the effects of doing nothing, exercise, placebo pills, therapy,
mindfulness meditation, and medication. They found the most effective treatment

these fears until you get to a point where you learn that you can actually manage
these thoughts until those associations,
they start to break down
