Introduction
If you have a fear of spiders, otherwise known as arachnophobia, you know that it can be a serious problem. There are many ways to help get over the fear of spiders and this article will talk about how you can overcome your fear using my integrated hypnosis approach, without CBT or exposure therapy.
The fear of spiders is one of the most common phobias in the world.
The fear of spiders is one of the most common phobias in the United States. In fact, arachnophobia (the fear of spiders) affects as many as one in five women and one in 20 men.
Although some people may have a natural aversion to spiders, others may develop this fear after being bitten by one or seeing a friend or family member get bit. If you’re living with the fear of spiders, it can affect almost every aspect of your life.
Not only that, you have to deal with the responses of friends and family who think you are either crazy or overreacting. Rest assured, you are neither and many people are unware about how fears and phobias work.

Arachnophobia is a common phobia, but it doesn't have to dictate your life. Many people suffer from this fear and can be helped to overcome it.
The good news is that arachnophobia can be treated successfully without experiencing any serious side effects. If you're ready for some help getting over your phobia, here's what you need to know about how it works and how you can get started on the path towards relief and total freedom.
Arachnophobia affects as many as one in five women and one in 20 men. The condition comes from an insensitivity to spiders or other types of insects (arthropods). For example, if someone touches a spider by accident or sees one crawl across the floor, they may feel disgusted or frightened. This reaction is called "arachnoid," referring to the fact that arachnids have eight legs like insects do—though spiders aren't technically insects because they don't have antennae or wings!
The fear of spiders is learnt, therefore it can be unlearnt.
All fear is learned, and spiders are no exception. You can learn to fear them if you have a traumatic experience with them, if other people around you have a spider phobia or act frightened of them, or if you see a spider in your home.
Often such fears can seem like they are getting worse over time. Yet it is possible to completely overcome this fear with a good personalised approach.
Spider phobia treatment without exposure or CBT
How I can help you get over the fear of spiders fast
I help many people overcome irrational fears when Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy is not suitable, has not worked or is simply unappealing.
Hypnosis is not only about managing symptoms but changing the fundamental pyschological structure of your phobia so that is does not have a leg to stand on.
My approach does not rely just on hypnosis alone, it is an integrated approach.
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis, also known as hypnotherapy is a collaborative process which makes active use of your imagination in such a way that changes the whole underpinning of which the fear is based on, meaning the fear of spiders can be resolved in just a couple of sessions or less in many cases.
Hypnosis myths and misconceptions
Many believe that hypnosis is simply magic or some kind of unconscious mind control. This is pure myth which stems from tv, movies and the entertainment world.
Eyes open or eyes closed
I always tell my clients they need not worry about feeling or being hypnotized. The real part of the change comes from within. My technique combines active use of the imagination, re-learning, relaxation techniques and fun thought experiments which will transform your experience around spiders in just a short space of time.
You can experience it eyes open or eyes closed, it works in the same way.
Suitability
I offer every new client an initial consultation call so they can meet me before they work with me and I can check that the approach will be suitable for you. You can book yours here.
Parents looking for help for their children should contact me first.
