In some people a period of SSRI medication such as prozac has removed phobia.

It is generally accepted that phobias arise from a combination of external events and internal predispositions. In a famous experiment, Martin Seligman used classical conditioning to establish phobias of snakes and flowers. The results of the experiment showed that it took far fewer shocks to create an adverse response to a picture of a snake than to a picture of a flower, leading to the conclusion that certain objects may have a genetic predisposition to being associated with fear. Many specific phobias can be traced back to a specific triggering event, usually a traumatic experience at an early age. Social phobias and agoraphobia have more complex causes that are not entirely known at this time. It is believed that heredity, genetics, and brain chemistry combine with life-experiences to play a major role in the development of anxiety disorders, phobias and panic attacks.
it used to be true for me too. its funny because i’m not scared of say dogs because when a dog attacked me on the street i just kicked it hard in the stomach but spiders used to just terrify me. its especially humiliating when i’m next to a girl and suddenly some spider comes at me and i wuss out. to deal with it i would suggest you look around for some spiders around your house and just kill as many as you possibly can. eventually you will lose all fear of them. i am less scared of them now.
Getting over a phobia is different for everyone. It depends on the person & the severity of the phobia. I recommend you see a psychologist. But it is possible to overcome phobias.
As for why we have certain phobias, it comes from both past experiences, and internal disposition. Maybe you had a traumatic incident involving a spider in the past, and your mind has “coped” with it with your phobia. It can also be caused by brain chemistry or genetics.
I hoped this helped! Good luck!
i’m also phobic to the big black spiders. Those u can see in the house,not in the jungle. I guess if i so much as look at a tarantula in real life, i’d fly away running even before my brain registered it as a spider. I knw how i got it. In child hood some one told me scary stories about them. I’m 21 nw and am still unable to enter a room if i catch sight of one of those in the ceiling.
I’m trying to overcome it by trying to b in a room for gradually increasing time with a jar that has a living spider in it. U can start with a picture of a spider if u prefer. Its working for me,slowly,yet working.. The will power is the investment.. Those eight legged things creep me out,still,. Ugh..

Exposure therapy? And, generally it’s a response triggered by a mental response associated with a bad memory of the stimulus in the past.
