Explanation:
Fear of lizards is very common. It is extremely common among kids. As one grows older, the phobia subsides but there are many adults and teenagers as well who are just as scared of lizards as very small kids. The fear of lizards is known as Herpetophobia.
It is the phobia or fear of reptiles. The phobia includes all reptiles, such as snakes, lizards and crocs among others. While fear of snakes is justified, lizard phobia is not, unless it is one giant lizard, like the one seen in Lake Placid.
Usually, people who are afraid of lizards are fully aware that the small reptile is harmless and can do nothing to a fully grown up human. It is also harmless for kids unless a kid comes across the stool of lizards which is toxic and should not be meddled with by kids.
A therapist might help him in the following ways:
1. Even if you fumigate your house, keep every entry and exit point blocked and take care of hygiene, there might be some lizards you will come across, at least during the springtime and summers
2. Psychoanalysis or one to one talk therapy- studying the unconscious mind.
3. Psychoeducation- to control and reform the thoughts of phobia.
4. Systemic desensitization or graduated exposure therapy- reprocessing of thoughts, virtual exposure, and others.
5. Hypnotherapy- alternative medicine to help the mind deal with the phobia.
