A traditional way to get over any fear is by consistent exposure. If you start out small and work up, it causes less pain. You could start out by getting a tape of thunder and lightning... they actually sell them for relaxation, so they are available, but for you, you can use them to get used to the sounds. Play the sound of the rain, and listen to the occasional thunder sounds behind it. Look at pictures of lightning. Work up a little at a time if it is hard... if it is easier, go faster. Once you're ready, then start getting some movies with big storms in them... then you're getting the sounds and the lighting together. Watch those... and try some National Geographic specials (or something similar) on storms. Work with those for a while... keep watching them, over and over, until it is easy for you. Then you're ready for the real thing. Weather doesn't always happen when we want it to, but when you are ready, watch a real storm through the window. ... If you get brave enough, you can go even further and walk out in it and watch the lightning. ... remember though, overcoming ANY phobia is hard. Start very small... you have to deal with discomfort to change, but don't overwhelm yourself by thinking about the scariest parts in the beginning... start really, really small, and work up to it. ... And once you get to the point where it isn't interfering with your life, you can stop. You don't have to learn to like it. You can just learn to tolerate it. It is always your choice on how far you want to go in trying to overcome a fear. ... I'm scared of roller coasters, personally. They scare me to death, and I don't really enjoy being scared. So, I have dealt with the fear enough so that I can go if I am with friends and they want to go. I even went on the world's largest roller coaster with a friend of mine who loves them... but I mostly avoid them, because it doesn't often interfere with my life. The same goes with thunderstorms. Don't feel like you *have* to learn to dance in the rain or something... you can work on it enough that so you don't panic. That's okay.
