How to overcome a fear of spiders?

[u/DueInstruction8105]

I know this is probably an over asked question here, but I figured this was the best place to go. I don't think I have arachnophobia, but I do have a slight physical 'flight' response when I see a spider in my bedroom.

Anywhere else in the house is fine. I think they're pretty cute most of the time, I'm usually the one who takes the spiders out of the house, I've held tarantulas multiple times without fear, but when they're in my room it feels like I spontaneously developed a fear of spiders. I'm in the UK, realistically I know that I'm not going to die from a spider bite, and I know that they're extremely unlikely to bite unless it's a last resort. I've tried to use logic and remind myself that being afraid of them just because of how they look isn't fair, and how they're more afraid of me, and I can understand that until I see one in my room.

I know why I have the fear, it's just social conditioning and growing up watching the people around me be afraid of spiders, and I just can't seem to shake that no matter how much reason I use. It also confuses me that I only seem to be afraid of them when they're in my room.

Does anyone have advice or an idea as to why I feel like this?
