So

If you have like

A phobia of some kind, especially to a particular kind of animal

How do you get over it?


[He has a reason for asking and it has all to do with the fact that he has had Nigou the pup since Kuroko went home but now there's a wolf in his house due to a certain blond basketball player staying over. Nigou was hard enough to try and get used to but he's also had like, a couple years in Seirin to do so. Add in Nova the wolf and all that dog-phobia is coming right back.

He's trying, okay?]

Well...it's usually done in the company of a professional but essentially, yes, that's exactly it.

The goal is to do things that make you uncomfortable enough times that you...don't feel that way anymore. And what you do gets progressively harder. But it's also okay to have missteps and redo things previously done too.

It doesn't really help if you overdo it and push yourself too hard, you know?

Oh! I see. Well, that's a good start then! Maybe you could ask people who have...familiars that are similar to Nigou to help you out too?
