The attached article is related to the use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy to change the perception of spider phobias. I used this article to illustrate that the way a person perceives a situation can be changed and diminish certain phobias or anxieties. An example of mind over matter. The title of the article is "Change the mind and you change the brain”: effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy on the neural correlates of spider phobia. This article was very interesting to me as a future school psychologist as an approach to mental health treatment for anxieties.
