Like this:

Phobias, by definition, and perhaps by our talk this evening, are generally considered to be inexplicable or illogical fears of things, and while this might be true on the surface, it is not necessarily true to the phobic, nor is it necessarily true to anyone willing to look a bit deeper into that fear.

The brain - or as the psychiatrists and psychologists would have it, "the mind" - is an intricately wired device that has infinite possibility for re-wiring. A frightening or otherwise traumatic experience with a spider or perhaps a river, at youth, could give a person a lifelong fear of either of these, but a fear who's origin is neither remembered, nor presents itself with any reason to be remembered - in fact, better off forgotten forever.

By this, the causes of phobias can often be surmised by simply looking to one's own fears without delving into the affairs of others that are often better left at rest.

Thank you so much for coming tonight and thank you for listening.
