Spider phobia course
The most common fear in the world
So many people have a fear of spiders (arachnophobia). I believe it is the most common fear in the world and I too once had a fear of spiders, to the point where I had been teased by people who caught a spider and then threatened to put it on me as a joke. I would beg and plead for them not to with tears rolling down my face. Now I am free and I want to help you.
It's time to overcome your fear
More often a fear of spiders is a 'learned behaviour', which means we pick up the fear as a child from someone close to us, perhaps a parent or sibling. Although, there are occasions where someone has an uncomfortable experience with a spider to which the fear has been installed.
However, we are not born with this fear (or any fear) - we can 'unlearn' these behaviours and the mind can be rewired to let go of the fear, preventing your loved ones becoming fearful of spiders.
