Confront Your Fear, They Said...You Can't Let It Rule Your Life, They Said...

...now here I am on Monkey Island near Phi Phi Don, Thailand, being attacked and bitten by a pack of monkeys.

Fuck all you self-help gurus and your advice on getting rid of my monkey phobia.


That's how I imagine her thought process ran, anyway. "Her" being 56-year-old Dee Darwell of Peterborough, UK, the unfortunate victim of the monkey attack.

It would probably make a good reality show, wouldn't it? Call it Face Your Fear, and each week have someone with a phobia confront the object of his/her phobia, whether it be heights, closed spaces, snakes, spiders, etc. Film their reaction as they try to deal with the situation.

  1. Sounds rather dumb. Her trip, not your idea. Which I expect someone to make a fortune off of.

    I'd think that someone could live their entire life with a fear of primates and not have to worry about it. It's not as if they run into non human primates running the streets of the UK is it?
