The source of the phobias must have a huge effect on optimal treatment type and success rate.
Mine are biological not trauma or experience created, so desensitization is not very effective. I still try if only to keep from getting worse.
Also social phobias are tricky as every exposure is radically different. Not like how all spiders are pretty much spiders and unlikely to perform truly unexpected fear inducing behaviors.
