Do I have Cynophobia?
What happens if you see a dog?
You can hear it barking, yapping, and pulling at its lead.
Does your throat go dry? Is your heart racing?
If you immediately seize up and start scanning the area for an escape route - you could have cynophobia.

“oVRcome gives me so many skills that I can practice in my own time. Using the headset is the easiest exposure therapy I’ve ever had, and costs less than an hour at my psychologist.”
Fear of Spiders
User
“The audio is very pleasant to listen to. When she mentioned potentially needing to give blood to a loved one, or needing medical treatments in the future as motivation to want to get the phobia under control - that resonated a lot with me.”
Fear of Needles
User
“VR was good and easy to navigate. I found the listening modules effective and like how the VR provides a sense of familiarity with situations, making them seem more achievable in real life.”
