Fear of Spiders or Arachnophobia
Along with fear of snakes, the fear of spiders is very common.
If it’s poisonous spiders that you’re afraid of, that’s good.
But if it’s regular house and other spiders, it may be time to investigate ways of curing your fear. After all, chances are that you’re bigger than a spider, so it’s not too likely that you’ll become its prey.
Being afraid of spiders is often a response we learned when we were younger. There you were, innocently playing with a spider when your mother walks in and screams. Instantly, you learned that spiders are something to be afraid of – after all, mums are always right!
Irrational fears like this can stay with us for life unless we choose to do something about them.
Fortunately, it’s quite easy to overcome arachnophobia. I’ve seen people do this many times, usually in about 30 – 50 minutes.
