 | I have a very irrational fear of Canadian geese. Whenever I go for runs and see geese along the trail I often turn and run the other direction to avoid any contact with them. | |
|
| That's interesting. Geese can be pretty annoying, but I've never been afraid of them. | |

|
| I just want to be in the same vicinity as a Canadian goose and not worry about it. | |
|
| Well the behavioral model would suggest that you try a method called systematic desensitization to learn how to react calmly to geese instead of being afraid. | |

| Tell me more! | |
|
| You should start with something easy like looking at pictures and videos of geese or listening to geese noises. Then you could start interacting with them in person by watching them from afar and work up to being comfortable feeding them up close. | |
