I have suffered with this all my life, had cbt and nlp a year ago and it really helped reduce the severity of the fear although still there. Had a crazy year new partner and new baby that happened very quickly, I love him and I'm so happy in my relationship! Which is why I need to kick this. I have everything I want In life nice house great jobs 3 healthy children and a nice lifestyle. The only thing that holds me back is this! Iv told him bits about the phobia and he really try's to understand but I know he doesn't! Does anyone in the uk recommend a therapist or hypnotherapy to cure this! With 3 kids I know I need to get over this! I want to just think if I'm ill I'm ill but it's not that simple! Others being ill terrifies me also! Really want to kick this, wasted years on it! Wish I was scared of spiders or something like lost people x
