  • I have not suffered from insect-phobia myself, but I HAVE dealt with some other phobias. I think the thing that helped me is specifically understanding what it is that scares you about insects, and try exposure slowly.

    For example, if you’re afraid of wasps, but not afraid of, say ladybugs; what is the difference in your mind? Is it flying bugs? Crawling bugs? Is it legs?

    Once you break that down, expose yourself to a bug that scares you the least, and over time you may find that “scary” feature isn’t so big.
