Fear of Spiders
Maria: Diane, please tell me what is your fear of spiders scale from 0 to 10 with 10 being maximum intensity.
Diane: Well, I don‟t know.
Maria: If you look at a spider just now how much distress will you be in?
Diane: 10
Maria: Did you have a specific incident when you started to be afraid of spiders?
Diane: Well … I think it started when I was in a student camp … when I was 9 years old. One of my mates put a spider on my pillow when I was asleep. And the stupid cow and her friends were laughing when I woke with the spider on my face. How stupid! I woke and screamed in huge distress and they were laughing… Idiots…
Maria: Diane do you want me to tap on you or do you want to tap yourself?
Diane: I better watch what you are doing so I can learn how to do it myself.

Diane, at this moment she had a deep sigh and is yawning.
Maria: That is very good. Diane how would you rate your fear of spiders now?
Diane … 0 … quite a big zero
Maria: If you saw a spider on the floor what would you do?
Diane: hahahaha ….asking for Cornelius to come and kill the spider …
Maria: and if he is not at home?
Diane: may be I will stamp on it … or maybe I will put it on the kitchen shovel and take it in the garden … I don't know … but I will find one and tell you what I have done.
I had a three year check up with Diane and she confirmed that her fear of spiders did not reappear. It is still at zero. She does not love them, but she is not freezing and screaming when she gets them in the house or in the garden.
Maria: That's OK. Please rub the sore point and say after me: Although those stupid girls put the spider on my pillow to have fun, I deeply love and completely accept myself.
Diane: Although those stupid girls put the spider on my pillow to have fun, I deeply love and completely accept myself.
Although those stupid girls put the spider on my pillow to have fun, I deeply love and completely accept myself.
