00:00Tanner's been sick for a long time.
00:07He's got a debilitating phobia.
00:09What?
00:10Aids?
00:11Spiders?
00:12He's afraid someone's going to break into our house and poison him.
00:16You don't believe me?
00:19I'm not saying it didn't happen to you.
00:20I was at the hospital, too.
00:21Why would he come back?
00:22Because he's not done with me, Nicole.
00:23He's not done with me.
00:24Exposure is a treatment.
00:25Take that image, sense, memory, whatever, and let yourself feel it for 30 seconds.
00:35Go.
00:36So you, like, work your way up to a nightmare scenario at the top?
00:41If you spend enough time there, even hell is going to lose its edge.
00:45But don't do anything actually dangerous, okay?
00:49No, I won't.
00:54You're introducing a variable you can't control.
00:57It's not safe.
00:58Why are you pushing this?
01:00Hey, Tanner, look at me.
01:02Being paranoid about something doesn't stop it from happening.
01:06Nobody's coming after you.
