Most times, many topics regarding hard limits haven't included a person's phobias. I was wondering if a person who identifies as submissive, if you would ask your dom to help you get over a phobia or if the phobia is a "do not enter" zone? Also, do you consider your phobias being part of your list of hard limits?
My phobias were never a "do not enter" zone for my former owner. I never outright asked for help in dealing with them, but I did find myself intrigued by my knife phobia, and we worked together to overcome it. Other phobias (to varying degrees) were discovered along the way - extreme confinement, such as being saran wrapped or having my head covered and pinned down would launch me into a panic attack. But doing such things weren't off limits to him, so no, they were not considered a hard limit. Once discovered, he handled them cautiously, but he didn't turn from them completely.
