I am asking this question simply because I have phobias for dogs. No matter how friendly a dog looks or act, I always find it difficult to stay around it. How possible is it to overcome this type of phobia?
Is it possible to overcome phobias?

Growing up I had a phobia for heights which hinder me from climbing to the too floors of high rising buildings or even using an elevator. But as I kept on doing that thing which I was so afraid of after a couple of years I found that I am no longer scared of it, I have successfully overcomed my phobia for heights.
Some phobias you can overcome. For some people introducing that thing they are afraid of a little bit at a time over a long period of time helps them.
For some people, they simply outgrow it. It just goes away over time.
However, there are some phobias you can never overcome and just have to find a way to manage.

You gave a better explanation of it. There are phobias that we outgrow as time passes and it is normal. I outgrown the phobia of running away from chickens as time passes. So, I quite agree with you on that.

I am a believer that you can get over phobias as my eldest son was able to get over a dog phobia he had since being young. He had a big dog come over to him and jump up at him and it scared him and made him scared of dogs. He now wants a dog himself.
I don't believe you can get over all phobias but some of them are possible.
