Samples from the Book
(#TriggerWarning) In 1924 (100 years ago) an early experiment in this area helped a boy named Peter get over his fear of rabbits (leporiphobia [lepus = hare, -phobia = fear]). I call this the Peter rabbit trigger remedy. Traditionally this would have been managed by handing Peter a gun (giving the rabbits a fear of Peter) but the psychologists tried a new approach of having Peter gradually accept rabbits. They showed that this successfully desensitised his fear of rabbits.
With the risk of getting myself into trouble with the PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) community, I’ll look at this from my engineer's view of the world. You could argue that having a fear of something leads to you wanting it to not exist.
You want it removed or you will remove yourself from the situation. So either way, you can continue to have it appear to not exist.
Having the thing exist in front of you on a gradient appears to help you gradually learn (accept) reality. Intentionally wanting the thing to exist means you are creating it in your worldview and thus creating agreement with the world. You would expect us to have some sort of mechanism for this to happen or else we would stay in disagreement with reality (delusion) for the rest of our lives.

A typical but (legally) fictional girl; let’s say her name is Dua - a very common English name, you see it everywhere. Fictional Dua has the typical goals of any young girl; to get married and make babies. This is her Dutopia.
Fictional Dua appears to suffer from a rare mental condition I like to call radical optimism (patent pending). This leads her to enthusiastically thinking “I could be the one” whenever she meets a guy. Unfortunately she doesn’t magically know what this new guy is actually like. So she has to dua lipa-faith because unlike some people, this universe does not guarantee that you will get whatever you want whenever you want it. She expects the best outcome and becomes heart broken when it doesn’t happen.
After many years of trying, she claims to have loved & lost a hundred million times (you go girl) and ends up telling the guys to walk away while waving goodbye from the window.
You can understand why her persistent thoughts changed to thinking the next guy will “break my heart” and “I never wanna fall again”. It’s no wonder she never thought she would find a way out. She was scared she’d take her broken heart to the grave and would rather die than have to live in a storm like before (her words, not mine).
As you can see, fictional Dua is the sort of girl that tends to make a big song and dance about her upsets.
Fictional Dua has a typical English job: a struggling cover artist, majoring in IT. Dua foster’s her music career by writing an “original” song called Twelve New Rules to help levitate her status as a musician, but is immediately sued by Jordan Peterson for copyright infringement and …
