The Dysfunciton of Phobias and Fears is on the list this episode. If you can stand on a mountain ledge but freeze on a glass walkway, this one’s for you.  We also scan a Halloween‑flavored list of phobias (arachnophobia, coulrophobia, nyctophobia, and more), laughing at the labels without dismissing the lived reality behind them. Under the humor sits a practical core: fear becomes dysfunctional when it narrows your life.
