The fear of buttons?!?!
Episode description
Molly is mortified by buttons. She tells us that when she was a little girl she nearly choked on one. Ever since the incident, she's gone out of her way to avoid the small items. Surprisingly, she's not alone.
On this week's episode of "Your Weirdest Fears," host Larry Mullins chats with author and journalist Kate Summerscale. Having just written a book about phobias - and the fear of buttons specifically - she offers her insight. Listen as she breaks down what the fear really indicates and how to overcome it!
You can learn more about Kate and her new book, "The Book of Phobias and Manias: A History of Obsession," here.
