Insect phobia

Tweet

Hello mylotters, I have a problem that really worries me. I have fear of insects, specially big butterflies and spiders. I know there are many people with the same problem, but I think mine is bigger, because I have fear of the smaller spider, I mean, even it is a small spider, I have some kind of fear. I know it can't hurt me, but I feel disgusted to touch spiders, and I can't live relaxed if there are spiders near to me. Sometimes, there appear little spiders at home, but that's not a problem, I often kill them, and the problem is end. The problem is, that as a project of my high school, we have to travel to a town where my high school has a farm, it is 3 hours away from where I live. That town is hot, and there are much insects, even the strangest ones I've seen. I haven't gone yet, but some friends who have recently gone took photos of the insects, and I was really scared of that. That insects were really big and ugly. And the worst, we have to sleep in a place that could have some of those insects. So, do you have any comment or advice that could help me overcoming this problem? I know that people can overcome phobias, so I would want you to tell me how to do it. Thanks for answering.
