This Zeteophobia lesson plan also includes:
You know hydrophobia, arachnophobia, and maybe even ophidiophobia, but do you recall Zeteophobia, the least famous phobia of all? As part of a Career Development series, job seekers investigate the power of zeteophobia, the fear that keeps people from searching out solutions to issues they face and can prevent them from even getting started at facing these issues. High school freshmen identify fears about their working future that keep them from searching for solutions. The class then brainstorms values and support systems that may help them overcome these fears.
