{"product_id":"2940013055827","title":"How to Deal with Spider Phobia","description":"Hollywood made a pretty bad movie about it – “Arachnophobia”, but for some the movie was excruciating – if they even went to see it.  The cast certainly was amazing:  John Goodman (“Roseanne”), Kathy Kinney (“The Drew Carey Show”), and Jeff Daniels (“Dumb and Dumber”).  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut it doesn’t take a movie to frighten people who suffer from arachnophobia.  Spiders can be anywhere and everywhere.  That fact alone strikes terror into the hearts of those who hold this phobia in their minds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis author has never really had a problem with spiders.  When I see them, I find the closest shoe and send them on to spider heaven.  I don’t want them crawling all over me, but if I see one, I don’t get freaked out.  Now show me a snake and it’s a different story.  So I understand!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGod did not make spiders cute and cuddly.  He did not make them fun or even interesting – well, to most people.  After all, they just kind of crawl around and lurk in dark spaces occasionally spinning a web for you to get all over your face if you walk through it.  Around Halloween, this can be great – handmade decorations!  But at other times, it’s just a nuisance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen you have to consider those spiders that are poisonous.  Media outlets have made all of us increasingly aware of the dangers of brown recluse spiders and the physical damage they can wreak on the human body.  Then you have to consider the deadly Tarantulas, and other poisonous spiders that can be lurking just underneath your house.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction      3\u003cbr\u003e What Is A Phobia?    4\u003cbr\u003e What Causes Phobias?    7\u003cbr\u003e Phobias in the Past    10\u003cbr\u003e What Happens to Phobics?   12\u003cbr\u003e Arachnophobia     13\u003cbr\u003e Overcoming Your Fears    17\u003cbr\u003e  Exposure Therapy   21\u003cbr\u003e  Flooding    25\u003cbr\u003e  Cognitive Behavior Therapy  25\u003cbr\u003e  Hypnosis    28\u003cbr\u003e  Virtual Reality Therapy   28\u003cbr\u003e  Medications    31\u003cbr\u003e Beat Panic Attacks    32\u003cbr\u003e Relaxation Techniques    37\u003cbr\u003e  Jacobson’s Progressive Relaxation 37\u003cbr\u003e  Cue Control Relaxation   42\u003cbr\u003e  Deep Breathing Relaxation  43\u003cbr\u003e  Guided Imagery    44\u003cbr\u003e Fun Facts about Spiders    45\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion     49","brand":"Kenneth Hightower","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079251837168,"sku":"2940013055827","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013055827_p0.jpg?v=1763576177","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013055827","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
