00:0050 years of traumatizing, making people get out of bed to come to my house to save me
00:17from spiders.
00:18My two-year-old son having to collect them and put them in the garden.
00:35People are often terrified of spiders but there's no reason to be whatsoever.
00:38Some of these people have lived with a phobia for over 30 years and it's a very serious
00:43thing and it's not, sometimes people make a joke of it but if someone crashed a car
00:47because of a spider being in there then that makes it very serious and that people can
00:51harm themselves and other people.
00:53So it's really debilitating to those that do genuinely suffer from arachnophobia.
00:59The thought of doing that an hour ago would have put me into a spasm of horror and now
01:21I really do feel I'm bonding with her.
