1. Arachnophobia (Fear of Spiders)
Arachnophobia is one of the most widespread phobias, often triggered by the appearance or movement of spiders. This intense fear can cause panic attacks and avoidance behaviors.
Overcoming arachnophobia typically involves gradual exposure therapy, where individuals slowly face their fear in a controlled environment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can also be helpful in challenging irrational thoughts about spiders.
