ANSWERS

1.

Salma lives with her family and works as a shop assistant in a big shop in the city. She only works in the day because she has a phobia about the dark. It's an irrational fear which affects her life and makes things difficult. She avoids dark places. Even in her house, she won’t go into a dark room. Sometimes at night the electricity goes out in her house. Salma panics quickly and freezes in her place. Such situations make her hear sounds as if someone were opening the door. Her heart beats fast and she is unable to move.

Last month, Salma decided that she needs to go to a therapist who can help her to get over this phobia. She has taken several sessions which really improved her case. During these sessions she has been put into virtual situations, ones that are similar to reality, with the dark she fears.
