  • Right at the 1st spider i crapped my pants :/

  • cant believe im saying this but ,,, that spiders kinda cute,...

  • The first spider that appeared made me start shaking and I cried

  • I'm always in awe of the sensitivity shown to arachnophobes in arachnophobia documentaries. The video clip eases the tense arachnophobe into a comfortable state with a close up of huge goliath bird eating tarantula.

  • @haydencantact I'm sorry that it's all in Norwegian. But i hope it makes some sort of sense anyway.

  • Want to know how I cured my fear of spiders? Magic Mushrooms. Honestly, took some magic mushrooms one time, saw some huge house spiders in my house (real ones, not hallucinations) and instead of being scared, I was fascinated by them. Not been scared since. True story.

  • shes pretty far along just being able to sit in a room with a spider that big, i cant even go near the cages of Tarantulas at a Petsmart.

  • iF THEY MAKE ME GO THERE I,ILL KILL ALL THE SPIDERS AND THE STAFF AND BURN THE ALL HOUSE DOWN.

  • I almost started drying just from watching this.

  • is he retarded!? you can't just expect a person SUFFERING from a phobia to go and hold the bigest fucking spiders just like that :O

  • i actualy cnt watch this...im not a wuss, but spiders are the scariest creepiest things everrr!

  • o shit sorry but i cant watch this is too scary for me

  • 3:10 OH MY GOD

  • dude i need one of those triangleish terrariums

  • They need to make a medicine for this or something.

  • if someone put a tarantula on my hand i would fucking shoot them in the kneecaps... and that's justifiable

  • Turantulas look kinda adorable cuz theyre so fuzzy but it freaks me out that they have 4 eyes ewww

  • I had a spazz attack in my living room today with my mom because there was a huntsman handing off my bedroom wall v3v

  • To reiterate what teedonster said about a year ago: it's not the big hairy ones. It's the little bitty ones with the tiny spindly legs that run at lightspeed that scare the living fuck out of me. Something about the legs weirds me the fuck out. Also because they are hard to keep track of. I'm a control freak, so not being able to catch them when they run messes with me, tarantulas can go fast, but not so terribly fast as I lose sight of them.

  • I watched until 0:03 and turned the damn video off.

  • OMG!!! The first sight of that damn spider caught me off guard and nearly gave me a heart attack, I can't even imagine touching it. I don't care what anyone says......arachnophobia cannot be cured!!

  • If i were her I would freak the fuck out and wouldn't touch anything with that hand i wouldn't even put it near my face. I hate spiders.

  • uh... I feel like I want to vomit just seeing the spider... :( why must I be scared?

  • Arachnophobia is a good thing. In prehistoric times, those that weren't afraid of spiders (or snakes, heights, etc.) would die and thus wouldn't reproduce.

  • It is not happening by magic, it is about facing your fear (with a little help) and overcome it.

    It is not enough to just touch a spider, the point is to get someone to feel less fear and in control over the situation. That can be done by repeating the same thing over and over until your body starts to relax. So I both talk to give information but also to let my voice be a distraction from the fear. I hope you can overcome yours.

  • I wish i knew what he was saying cuz all i know is that touching a tarantula does NOT cure being scared of spiders , I did it once and am still totally petrified of most spiders.

  • eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarn tarantula *smash* *smash* I had a tarantula....that thing caused me to be afaraid of the small ones! Its butt hair that they flick and I had nightmares of it havin millions of babies :| I couldn't hol one paying me a zillion dollars....it would become the guts underneath a tire....

  • I think I would rather keep my fear of spiders than do that...

    PERIOD!

  • @CBPCorps EXACTLY. Why don't people get that?! This is exactly my belief, too. Why bother trying to cure something SO INCURABLE? This video is almost offensive. 

  • @Quantumness Iknow. Like I'd rather have little spiders live in my basement and be scared of them than have the that THING crawl on me.

  • I need to be cured from my arachnophobia! I have it big time...even if its just a pic o a spider I freak out.

  • 3:09 WTF!!!!!

  • Ah what a cute little girl!

  • 2:00 touched &wiped spider bacteria on her face. what about curing arachnodisgust & nausea? it's like trying to 'cure' lack of attraction.

  • I'm gonna call this guy to kill Aragog on my Harry Potter game

  • @ralithelion Np... I'm good at games ;)

  • do most psychologists use hypnosis if so i cant get this done

  • @darkusmaster96 No they don't. The most effective way is to get the kind of therapy where you are exposed to the things you are afraid. It will be very scary in the start but over time with the help of the therapist you will learn the body to relax. When the body don't scream that you are about to die anymore it gets easier to get the mind to listen.

  • what the fuck are thay saying

  • for whatever reason i feel itchy when i see a bug or around them, its weird

  • I don't know about you, but if that spider crawled on my hand i would have flipped my hand over and squashed it!

  • I once saw a spider on my face when I woke up, so i screamed, and fell down two flights of stairs and hit my face on a chair leg. Damn spider. It had already bitten me. So I had a horrific bump on my upper lip that was horribly swollen.

  • I had a huge fear of spiders. People fear what they dont understand. I now own a tarantula, and want to add to the collection.

  • It's hard to live with fear of something you will met so often in your daily life.

    If you lived in Norway I would have helped :)

  • thats it im going to this guy..i love spiders when i was a kid..but now i feel terrify when i see them..whenever i see one of this i run outside..

  • I could fight people buffer,older,and richer then me but never ever touch a fking spider

  • I don't think I could ever hold a tarantula. I would cry just seing it.

    I know it's an irrational fear, but I can't help it.

  • i have all incect andracnida and bees i wish they werent in my everyday preasence i wish the food chain would change course

  • I am terrified of spiders ... actually all bugs for that matter D:

  • @cyberkitty4u Same. Used to have no problems with them at all, though.

  • I would like to think that those creepy spiders arent around the city wher I live, the ones that can kill you only live in other countries, might be wrong excuse my ignorancem I just hate them so much I wish they didnt exist....

  • There's a spider in my room right now, and I'm literally shaking. I think I killed it but I have no idea, I get the feeling that they're all around me when I see one...

  • omg that just happened to me. i hate spiders so much.

  • I ran out of my room at 00:16 when the spider jumped :O

  • Comment removed

  • I dont hate spiders, but I am afraid of them. I wish I wasnt, but I cant help it :-(

  • I know it can be difficult, but it is possible to do something about it if you met the right people or are strong enough to do some self-theraphy. Wish I could help.

  • @Petterkopp I panic and hyperventilate when I see spiders, I have the worse fear on earth yet I can hold a tarantula just not the goliath or the ones from your house , my life has been ruined by this damn phobia, I'll run through a burning house or pull a person out of a river thats drowning, but I will NOT remove a spider, it seems to good to be true that one can be cured of this when you have it severe as i do :(

  • @Philminator The start to get rid of any phobia is when you stop running from it and are willing to face it. remember you do not have to do it alone. I am sure there must be capable psychologists nearby that can offer you help. It is quite common for those with fear of spiders that they are more scared of the small ones, i guess it has to do with unpredictability. To face ones fear is the bravest thing anyone can do. I hope you can overcome it. Best of luck!

  • @Philminator @Petterkopp I agree with you completly. A phobia as severe as "Philminator" must be over come by facing the fear. You say you can hold a Tarantula that is where you should start a Tarantula could be thought as the same and a normal house spider. A spider is just as afraid of you as you are to if not more. Considering a human is 100 times bigger. Good luck with your phobia i hope you over come it it is a serious phobia.

  • @Clairecotter I know exactly! I hate it. I am a 21 yr old man and I feel like such an idiot. Its also the state of extreme paranoia once i've seen one.. sigh*

  • Yeah it makes me feel silly, especially because my 6 year old niece likes them, and im nearly 23 and i cry when i see one! If i see even a small one in my house, and even if someone puts it outside, im still convinced its in the house.

  • @Clairecotter

    I was to, till i bought a tarantula.

    I got 6 now, i had more they are really fascinating.

    And once you get to look at them in a terrarium u will find them fascinating to.

  • @Clairecotter i feel ya man ._. and u know whats ironic my name is ara and im arachnophobic ... ._. my name haunts me

  • I think spiders are beautifull.. well each there own.

  • i have Arachnophobia but i certinaly wouldnt cry if i touched a spider. Although my body would shiver as hell. i dont like spiders at all

  • i love spiders

  • fuck that i cant even look at spiders

  • i hate spiders!!!!

  • omfg this is fucking scary as fuck OMFG im like really scared of spiders now im going to have nughtmares

  • *shivers* Dx i hate spiders

  • 2:25- Why you pokin me bitch?

  • rofl

  • rofl

  • NUKE them!!!! I hate spiders!!!

  • i'm getting serious butterflies watching this

  • 3:10 WHAT ZHEEEE!!

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!­!

  • I used to be really scared of spiders but despite that I ended up adopting a rose hair tarantula, I found the experience of observing my pet rock to be quite therapeutic and I hold it on occasion without incident. T's are awesome ^_^

  • The fuel for arachnophobia is the expectation of spiders as vicious, savage, violent animals. Quite the contrary, tarantulas in particular can be very gentle, beautiful, docile animals. Approach the subject with interest, do not delude yourself into believing they are as terrible as the films make them out to be! They are respectable amazing creatures!

  • @AnonymousCthulhu altough i had moments they freaked me out , but when i see this video i rly wonder why , i have to agree with what you say,

    in nature there's much more cruel bugs, like a tarantula hawk wasp. and wasps in general :/

  • i have tears in my eyes i cant watch this without even hyperventelating and going stiff ='[ i could only watch till 0:09

  • same here gahhh

  • that spider looks so fricken cute i swear....he is so gentle just minding his own business:) im relating to spider life.

    in many ways. they travel by flying by making there own parachutes with there web..same as me, ive been moving from place to place for my hole life, every 6month we move somewhere else thats around spider time..

    they eat pretty much anything, just like me by travelling ive learn to cope by eating anything:0 god spiders are amazing!

  • I have interesting story. im 18 and my whole life i was never afraid of small ones or aything shoot i didnt care. Anyways back in may just b4 my 18th bday i was laying on my bed one night and like 5 black widows attacked me...no bits but like crawling on me n shit and ever since then im afraid to sleep or lay down. I totally change the way i function everyday i hate it!! =[ what should i do??

  • Phobias are usually triggered by some kind of experience, either by yourself or something you pick up from your surroundings. And

    Philliesboy16 I would recommend you to seek professional help, either a psychologists that deals with phobias or find someone who can help you with some kind of therapy regarding spiders. I hope you can find help. All I can say is that the spiders did not attack you even though you might have found them on you. It's common to project sinister intentions to spiders.

  • Kill them!

  • Yeah-No

  • Annoy them with jazz?

  • the small ones with the tiny legs and run at lightspeed are terrifying. i would be less scared of their was a big one with hairy legs

  • @teedonster yeah exactly

  • Why is title and description in English and there is no subtitles?

  • One time at school we walked in to a room where the class pet was a turantula my friend had to shove me out the second door near the tank i prefer my tortoise

  • Didn't last 5 seconds..now I'll have nightmares..

    DX

  • put that thing on me and i'll pump you full of lead

  • The whole idea is to talk to you until you agree on holding it. Gradually getting closer and close to the point where you can face your fear.

    I would never dream about even trying to put it on anyone who did not want to hold it. That would defeat the purpose.

  • Comment removed

  • Read my comment plz and do u have any feedback for me? Thx BRAVE SIR! lol :)

  • having a spider walk on your hand isnt as bad as i thought

  • im sweating and iv only seen the first one spiders are soooo scary!!!!

  • im fine with the big cute ones but its the big bony ones and small ones and ahhhhhhhh i had a bb gun pistol unloaded a few clips onn the bug i hate them

  • that spider at 3:10 real?

  • That was a bit scary.

  • OMG i got SO SCARED!!!

  • why i have archnophboia: i was a baby and i was playing with a HUGE one and it BIT me HARD

  • wut kind of spider?

  • Goliath Bird Eater he said

  • i was a boy on 7 years and i loved BIG spiders! then one day i picked one up and it bit me so hard and i was bleeding...

  • If you can look at a spider without freaking out, yet if you are too close to one and have trouble touching one, is that Arachnophobia?

  • There is a different between arachnophobia and just a fear of spiders. A phobia is an extreme fear - you wouldn't even go into the same room as a spider, and I guess that would mean you were constantly on the look out for them. If you are not bothered by them by it is only when you see one that it concerns you, it is just a fear.

  • i dont think i have arachnophobia, cos i can atleast watch a damn spider without crying - i kill them, shoe to the head of it.

    Spiders are still gross and should die.

  • I would cry if I had to be forced to touch a spider. I would be shaking because I'm scared.

  • What type of spider was the first one?

  • Black Widow, I believe.

  • never never never, i would never ever have a spider walking in my hand, the spider of this video scare me u____u i was hoping to get some tips of this to get rid of my arachnophobia, but... now i'm scared!!

  • enducation is key. only a handful of spider r actually deadly. just keep watching videos of spiders and keep in mind they actually help us around the house by eating all kinds of insects. they;re the best form of pest control.

  • Yes, i know, but i can't stop thinking, when i get in a room and i find a spider near, i think it'll make a super ninja jump to my head to hurt me!! I know it sound stupid maybe! but i do believe spiders want to do something to me!!

    Thanks for the advice!! I want to reach a point where i don't freak out when i see one!!

  • me too!!!!

  • I have worse arachnophobia than her. I wouldn't be able to even sit in the same room as a tarantula or a big spider. Just watching this made uneasy.

  • I love spiders with thick legs. Thin leg ones creep me out!

  • agreed! its like you can barely see them :S uuughghg i feel sick XP spiders...

  • THAT GIANT SPIDER AT 3:10 IS MOVING! :O and I thought it was cool when I seen the spider go across the mom and daughter's hands. Seeing them smiling so calmly made me want to try and and I've had arachnophobia for as long as I can remember :p

  • im shaking

  • these tarantulas are pretty cool.... I'd like one to walk on my arm but those little tiny thin legged spiders..... they make me run off yelling like an idiot lol

  • A tarantula is a very good pet, as long as you don´t need a pet to hug.

    You can handle most of them, but the tarantula is happier if left alone.

  • That is true

  • i paused at 0:03 and left.....

  • i would cry too

  • I wish my rosehair was as cooperative as that one. That little girl was so cute too!

  • i fainted at the site of a spider once....not very good considering i want to be a vet

  • Arachnophobia is fucking shit.

    Today, when I was at school, in the middle of classroom there was a spider climbing on the net. I moved my chair far from this spider as much as possible and I was shaking during the all lesson. All my classmates were laughing to me.

    BTW: I'm sorry for my English. It isn't my native language.

  • Nobody could be as bad as i am. if i see a spider, no matter what the size. i would run and run and cry. its pretty embarrassing because people just look and laugh at me. Yes i have stopped this video, i cant look at them or i will run and cry. i am a 16 year old and shit scared of spiders.

  • im 17, im fking with you.

  • its horrible. i'm 24 and i am scared of spiders. i can't even look at pictures. people arround me do not laugh but they mostly get angry and do not understand how can i be scared. in my country its to expensive to go to a doctor and i would give anithing to end my phobia.

  • fuck i just turned the video off straight away

  • when i see even the littlest spider i run and start screaming and if it was a big one i would start crying! Dx

  • omg i am absolutley terrified of spiders

  • at 3:12 i want him to hold the spider behind him lol i know its a fake spider be cool if it was real

  • I just hate tarantulas and the house spiders with long legs.. i get shivery and spazzy

  • The only reason why I hate spiders is because when I was 8, me, my parents, and my sister were camping. I go up this rock, and Im chased back down by atleast 150 Pink, skinny spiders. Dx I have nightnmares about that now. :(

  • Guitar Hero!!!

    I have the same problem when I was in Croatia when i was 7-8 years old I climbed up on a quite high mountain and my mother was doing me pictures and suddenly i could feel something on my leg and there were something like 7 big spiders on my leg I mean not so big but it was freaking SCARY! and it appeared there was a spider nest and now every time I see a bigger than a normal spider like for example tarantula i quickly stop the video and close my eyes I am scared of them =(

  • This is what I need...to be cured from arachnophobia by letting spiders crawl on me like that. I don't mean small harmless ones. I'm fine with them. I'm talking about the bigger and more dangerous ones. I've got it bad, real bad.

  • i hate spiders too =  =

  • i've got really bad arachnophobia, but i actually think tarantulas are kind of cute. The worst ones for me are the fast, skinny ones, you can barely see their legs.

  • Yeah, I hate the skinny ones too :(

  • iv got s mild form of this phobia but im shit scared of the massive ones (starting at like 1 and a half inches long ) but bigger thn that then omg i wud freak

  • c for me its only the skinny leged ones

  • aye i just hate em all haha

  • I was really really afraid of spider until I got one for myself a few years ago(a Grammostola Rosea), now on sunday, I'm getting a Aphonopelma chalcodes and a Theraphosa Blondi.

  • Good for you :)

    Spiders are marvelous and I am happy that you can enjoy them now :)

  • holy fuck....... i think im going to cry

  • I saw a spider on my bedroom door last night... it was about as big as my pinky fingernail and i flipped a shit! haha!

  • I don´t like spiders and mostly every insects... I don´t have phobia... I can see and touch a spider but I think they´re kinda disgusting :P

    At least here in Portugal the spiders are all sooo tiny :)

  • I fear most insects, really. But I can maintain my cool as long as they're not too fast, and most importantly, DON'T JUMP. If they can jump, it's game over, I'm gone. That's why when my house was infested with camel crickets for a few months, it was quite displeasing to say the least. Not even the cute black crickets, had to be the nasty, spindly, creepy-ass ones.

  • I always wanted some of those :)

  • lol the little girl isn't afraid at all

  • Very courageous woman

  • I am also arachnphobic..if such a spider comes to my body I would DIE in shock. My heart woult stop and my parents will mourn on my grave...

  • im less scared of snakes than spiders and i like snakes more.ive tried to catch a garder and bullsnake in a feedbag with my brother.

  • i fi see a spider in a room i don't go back into the room for about a week.

  • I CANT WATCH THIS I HAVE ARACNAPHOBIA

  • anke io... me too.. moi aussi!!

  • I must have it bad cause i would have flipped out when he pulled it out of enclosure... and to have him have that thing in his hands next to me I would have completely lost it!!!!

  • i don't totally freak out when i see a spider like some people but i hate them! i don't even know why, but i don't want to anymore

  • Because she trusted me when I told her it was nothing to be afraid of.

    The whole reason why her mom wanted treatment was because she did not want her daughter to become as afraid of spiders as herself.

    And I can tell you that she is no longer afraid of spiders the same way she used to be and she is now putting the spiders outside by herself instead of killing them or running away.

  • i dont mind daddy long legs and tarantulas but i fear and hate black widow,brown recluse,and sydney funnel web spider of australia.i let a daddy long leg crawl on me in the shower.p.s. do daddy long legs have venom?

  • omg me 2 :[ like i jus saw a scene of that movie arachnophobia and now i cant take a shit because i think a big ass spiders jus gunna come out of know where and every time i think of a spider it feels like 1s crawling up my leg :[

  • The non-arachnid ones don't, but drop for drop the arachnid daddy long legs (2 body segments) have the most poisonous bite of any spider. Problem is, they have TINY fangs, don't usually go through the skin, but if it does...you're in bad shape.

  • I like spiders, they are amazing creatures. I like this video but you don't cure arachnophobia that easy. My sister is scared to death of spiders. She gets totally hysterical and fell from the stairs once running away after seeing a spider.

  • FUCKK , I want a pet tarantula now:(

  • I got a question,how come im not scared of tarantula's ... but its the small ones with long legs im TERRIFIED of.

  • same with me. tarantulas are cool =)

  • It's not a spider's bite that scares me the most, it's the fact that some of them have long legs...fishing spiders scare me a lot more than tarantulas do.
