I’m better now than I was before my children. Because now I have to be the brave one and kill them :/ 19 months ago

I am so proud of myself. I really thought that if I were to google “arachnophobia” pictures of spiders would pop up. Even after I typed the word into the search engine I waited several minutes before I got the courage to push enter and there were no pictures! Thank you google!! I learned that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the most common treatment for the phobia. I am teaching myself some relaxation and breathing techniques like Guided Imagery, Muscle Relaxation, and Deep Breathing Meditation. When I see a spider I usually hyperventilate and feel sick and dizzy. Learning how to control my breathing I think is a great baby step in the right direction! 20 months ago
