      Phobias typically come from some sort of stressful experience you’ve had during your life. Sometimes it can help to actually understand the phobia, so maybe if you did some research into spiders and the sorts of species we get in the UK, that could help. Whatever you do, take small steps and don’t force yourself into doing anything if you don’t feel comfortable.

      Maybe. Your fear is not about common sense, so it can take a lot of clam will power to get over it. Some people do it
