Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, an adult male was bitten by a dog when he was a little boy. He developed a phobia, without knowing what was going on.

Later, as he was growing up, he didn't know why he was afraid of dogs so much. He cannot remember when or how he developed a phobia, because he repressed that stressful event in their life.
