Answer:

Well I think he should do Aichmophobia (/ˌeɪkməˈfoʊbiə/) is a kind of specific phobia, the morbid fear of sharp things, such as pencils, needles, knives, darts, a pointing finger, or even the sharp end of an umbrella and different sorts of protruding corners or sharp edges in furnitures and building constructions/materials..

Answer:

Systematic desentization therapy

Step-by-step explanation:

The treatment is called systematic desentization therapy.

A method of behavioral therapy built on the idea of classical conditioning is systematic desensitization.This treatment helps to suppress a phobia's fear response and eventually replace a calming response to the conditional stimulation with counter-conditioning.

In this case Freddie has phobia for knives and its there in his behavior. So, systematic desentization therapy, can help him to suppress the phobia of knives with counter conditioning.
