Yeah, I guess the above answers are the best.
I can't really speak as I hate spiders too but:
Next time you see a spider, perhaps instead of freaking out and running away or whatever, just take it slow and perhaps study it for a second. As creepy as they look, they're completely harmless

these can all kill you

Ask yourself what part of the spider is scaring you and then try to overcome that. At the end of the day they're not going to hurt you (most of them anyway) so you have nothing to fear.

I've left, but I still visit sometimes!
i was terrified of spiders being around me, like crawling on me/touching. however, i still loved them, liked looking @ them (just didn't want them near me). few yrs ago, i was like i'm facing this, held a chilean rose tarantula twice, loved it! now i am fairly alright with spiders. so cure=hold a spider.
I think one problem I have with my fear is the fact that there's so many different types of spiders that all look different. So even if I got used to one type I'd still worry about another one. E.g. the small jumping ones, those thin wispy ones that you sometimes miss and the normal house ones.
If you're really afraid you're not likely to willingly go near a spider but if there was ever a situation where you had absolutely no choice but to go near a spider or even catch one you'd eventually just do it. Sometimes my nerves and anxiety, when faced with any kind of insect whilst home alone, just turn into adrenaline and I end up egging myself on out loud as I catch/kill the insect.
I love spiders! I think they're so cool! The one in the video Sarah posted is beautiful! My girlfriend is also terrified of spiders so will be following this thread for advice.
As much as I love spiders, I'm terrified of daddy long legs. Not because they're highly poisonous, they just really freak me out.
