What can I do about a fear of large bugs?

Answer by  mem4dr (1378)

You could try your own version of exposure therapy. Just gradually start forcing yourself to get closer and closer to large bugs. For instance, you might first get comfortable with standing next to a large bug in a cage, then a bug flying in the same room, etc. until you are no longer so afraid.

The best way to overcome a fear is to face it head on. Force yourself to be near large bugs despite being scared.

Immersion therapy is a type of behavioral therapy that is generally good for phobias. It helps you to slowly build a sense of safety around your fears.

You have to try to confront yourself with large bugs. For example, get a fake bug and get over the fear and then try to deal with large bugs.
