A top shrink wants to find Britain’s most bizarre phobia victim.
The sufferer’s case will be used to prove even the most amazing fears can be beaten.
Michael Whitenburgh claims he can cure every phobia… from being scared of anything from bagpipes to buttons. He said yesterday: “Some cases I’ve treated have been pretty wacky.
“I’ve had people who are frightened of chickens, pigeons, scrubbing brushes and even a woman who was frightened of ballcocks.
The only loo she could use was in her own house.
Another woman was so terrified of bagpipes she always went to bed at 10pm on New Years Eve to avoid hearing their sound on the telly.
HELP
Now Mr Whitenburgh is looking for the oddest case.
He said “I want to be able to tell doctors they will NEVER come across a worse scenario than the one we hope to find.
“Many people think the only way is to see their GP but he may only be able to offer tranquillisers and limited counselling.
“The techniques we use guarantee any phobia can be cured without the use of drugs, and the treatment is free if a patient is referred by a doctor.”
