Weird phobia

i have a huge phobia of frogs. My heart starts pounding and I cry. the thing is I don’t know how to get over my phobia or if I even need to. The only bad encounter I can think of is when I was very young I was at the pool and there was a medium frog right next to me swimming and it really freaked me out.

My mother in law had the same phobia ! The only way we got her past it was talking her into closing her eyes and us placing a little frog in her hands . She was terrified at first but after holding it for a few minutes she calmed down and was no longer afraid of them and actually found them cute. Best of luck to you. :)
