re: How to deal with a "phone phobia" in the workplace

I find it helpful to embrace the anxiety, accept that's it's there, fearing it makes it multiples worse. You need to work through why you have this anxiety, what are you anxious about? Work through the worse case scenarios and accept that they could happen and it's not that bad. I would recommend some cognitive behavioral therapy but not prescrtion drugs for something as situational as this.
