What are other entomophobia solutions?
Other techniques to overcome entomophobia include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps you change how you see and react to objects and situations that trigger symptoms. Many healthcare providers use CBT along with exposure therapy.
- Hypnotherapy: Providers use guided relaxation techniques and focused attention to help alter your perception of insects. Providers can also use hypnotherapy to find the underlying cause of your insect fear.
- Medications: Drugs that help with physical symptoms of anxiety may temporarily lessen entomophobia symptoms in certain situations. Antidepressants can also help reduce overall anxiety.
- Yoga and meditation: A regular yoga practice can help you relax and reduce your stress levels. Meditation helps you focus on your breathing and calm your body to lessen panic attacks.
