  1. Another great video! I mostly have the opposite kind of phobia as in the video. Nature soothes me, even a lot of the challenging aspects like bears. Things like skyscrapers, roads with traffic or even crowded rooms give me anxiety. So my best times are spent by a river with my dog.

    * Dark/deep water and sharks are definitely scary to me though. Also heights 🙂
