• How do I get rid of my arachnophobia?

So yeah, if you read the title you'll find out I have an arachnophobia. In other words I'm scared of spiders. Let me rephrase shortly how I [b]think[/b] how I got scared by these animals. When I was the age of 2/3/4 I was kind of an ass against my parents and I managed to get out of my bed every single time. They found a solution for that. By throwing dried up leaves on my rooms floor and telling me those things are spiders. Well as the young kid that I was, I believed them and stayed in my bed. Without raising any voice whatsoever. Tonight I found a spider in my room and freaked the fuck out. Now it is 14-16 years later I want to get over this phobia. Should I go into therapy? What do you guys suggest?

By touching spiders.
Try playing half life 2 and fighting the poison headcrabs. I am scared of spiders and they freak me out. Same with the fast ones.
Face your fear head on.
By a tonn of different species of spiders as pets and touch and play with them as much as you can. You will then come to grips with spiders
Get into a tub full of them. Have someone strap you down.

Live as a spider for a week.

Try doing Diphenhydramine, take a lot of benylin and wait for it to kick in, you should be relieved of your fears in no time
[QUOTE=BlkDucky;31943687]That's... kinda horrible, actually.[/QUOTE] It actually is messed up indeed, and the worst part is that they gave me a legit phobia and they're laughing about it. Oh well now I know how to raise my children. By putting leaves on the ground and telling these things are Andy Dick's. Now that's something to be scared of.

You must mate with a spider. It's the only way.

I'll have to try this one one time. And the good thing is I can't hurt it and afterwards I can set it free.
[QUOTE=yellowoboe;31943838]You must mate with a spider. It's the only way.[/QUOTE] A lot of spiders eat their mates, so after you either have to eat it, or let it eat you

use sticky tape and attach many to the tape, leaving a little room to wrap it around your dick no more fears
Go to Asia, pick a blue flower, travel the blue flower to a mountain, get high with ninjas, become spiderman.

Just try to understand most spiders will leave you alone if you leave them alone. They're helpful, they'll eat bugs and other annoying things for you. If they're in a place you don't like, put them in a jar carefully and let them outside. That should hopefully be a good start for you to start getting less afraid of them.
by facing your fear
Kill them all.
Have sex with a spider. Scorpion is good too.
Like I said in another post. Daddy long legs... they kill spiders so just leave em in your house and you'll never have to see them inside your house ever again :D.
Play Limbo-ohwait don't do that. It's how my arachnophobia got renewed.
