Dear Saifullah
The good news for you is that entomophobia or insectophobia can be overcome if it is approached in the right way. Following are five effective strategies for putting this unwanted fear to rest once and for all so that those afflicted with it can reclaim their lives.
Strategy #1 for Overcoming Entomophobia or Insectophobia or the Fear of Insects or Bugs: Face your fear head on. – Realize that there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Thousands of others face what you are facing every single day. You are not alone in this entomophobia or insectophobia battle. For this strategy to be most effective, it is best to gradually build up your exposure. Then spend some time in the presence of the very thing that fuels your entomophobia or insectophobia. Start slow and small and gradually work your way up. Practice and repetition are the keys to this strategy working.
Strategy #2 for Overcoming Entomophobia or Insectophobia or the Fear of Insects or Bugs: Don’t let panic or setbacks paralyze you. – Everyone has a bad day now and then. The important thing is not to let yours debilitate you from moving forward. Although such days may make it feel like you’re not making any progress, they’re deceitful. On such occasions, step back and assess how far you’ve come with your entomophobia or insectophobia. If you’re being honest with yourself, chances are you’ll see some real results. Eliminate all doubt and keep telling yourself, “If I’ve come this far, I can keep going. I will prevail.” And then go, go, go starting now, or at the very latest tomorrow.
Strategy #3 for Overcoming Entomophobia or Insectophobia or the Fear of Insects or Bugs: Keep a big picture perspective. – As Entrepreneur magazine points out, this strategy is all about understanding “what opportunities you have to lose.” You’re afraid of insects or bugs but what is allowing your fear of insects or bugs to have a stranglehold over you causing you to miss out on? Don’t live with regrets or put off embracing major changes until it’s too late.
Strategy #4 for Overcoming Entomophobia or Insectophobia or the Fear of Insects or Bugs: “Treat fear as a call to action.” – As an extension of strategy #3, Inc. magazine recommends reframing your notion of your fear of insects or bugs. Rather than thinking of it as a crippling aspect of your personality that you just have to keep living with, consider it a wake-up call—as a motivator to start claiming the life you’ve always wanted. “Write down a specific plan of the exact steps that you’ll take,” the publication recommends.
Strategy #5 for Overcoming Entomophobia or Insectophobia or the Fear of Insects or Bugs: “Rewire your brain.” – Entrepreneur magazine offers this directive as “one of the surest ways to overcome your fears and develop the courage that is needed to get to where you want to go.” Easier said than done though. That’s where the assistance of a professional can come in handy. But one-on-one counseling sessions are so expensive, you’re telling yourself. Fortunately, there are affordable alternatives. Hypnotherapy has proven itself to be a very effective means of permanently rewiring the brain against entomophobia or insectophobia. And the good news is that thanks to today’s technology, hypnosis can be performed extremely cost-effectively from the comfort and convenience of your own home.
