Greetings, dear readers!
What is arachnophobia?
Arachnophobia is the fear of spiders.
A person who is exposed to this can experience wild fear at the sight of spiders, his hands and feet may become numb, his pulse may become more frequent, etc.
By the way, this type of phobia is the most common in the world.
It can be subject to all, regardless of gender.
It would seem strange all this. How can you be afraid of being in the hundreds or even thousands of times smaller, and just kill anything not worth it? And mass drugs for this there is?
But I'm afraid.
Why?
There are several assumptions:
- fear of everything not like us .
- the sudden appearance
- speed of movement
- alleged harm to health and even life
- just passed on from the ancestors of the " inheritance"
At the same time, many small children consider spiders as the cutest creatures, even play with them.
In addition, in some places they even eat, added to various delicacies. I, for example, saw it in the Ukrainian program "Mastershef. Children."
Is it possible to recover from this?
Yes, It is possible to recover from fear
My son had arachnophobia since early childhood. Was not afraid of anything except spiders.
He's not afraid of them now. Moreover, in his room he took them a corner and watching them.
How did he get rid of his fear of spiders?
Just forced myself to look at them from a distance at first, then gradually approaching them.
By the way, psychologists use the same methods, gradually bringing his patient to his fear.
Based on the same technique, special computer programs have been developed that can help a person to get rid of this phobia.
To a greater extent, it all depends on the desire of the person to get rid of his fear.
Thank you for your attention, see you soon!
