Well you could waste time and money getting expensive therapy, or you could simply confront your fear. It's a cliched answer, but it's the best one.
Do some research about spiders - the vast, vast, vast majority of spider species are absolutely harmless. Even if they were to bite you, which is minute chance, rarely would anything bad come of it.
And if you can't use a tissue, perhaps select a ranged weapon, like a broom? ;)

Man, we are the same. I am an arachnophobia. I am terribly fear of spiders. Take a look on my profile and my answers. I asked this question already. And I chose the best answer.
What I do is: try to admire spiders. Hahahahhaha... No no I'm serious man...
I guess that's one of the ways to surpass ur fear. To admire their beauty and charm. Even for me still they are so disgusting creepy creatures.. but I just try to see the good things from them. Their body colors, their smooth silky hair, their incredible movements, their capability to be existing in everywhere and everyplace... even in the King's palace or presidential residence or even at big superstars' home can't escape them and.... their ability to build fantastic very architectural spinning web that needs high compatibility and talent that only spiders could do that on earth. Those stuffs.
But still I keep my spray though.... Hahahahaa!

I am also aracnophobic and have been for a long time. I am trying to get over this fear but it is easier said than done. It's not so much the daddy long legs and smaller spider, its the nasty ones, the ones I know are venemous and the big huntsmen spiders that freak me. I am trying to re-educate myself with them to overcome my fear especially as living here in Australia there are alot of nasty ones about. Good luck with finding something that works for you with getting over your fear.

Good question.I'm also terrified of spiders since one bit me when I was little.I like watching spiders,whenever I see one in my garden I like to approach it and just watch it.But if it starts moving towards me I'll start screaming or running away from it.If I see a spider in my room before going to bed I won't sleep there...

get a spider that's guaranteed harmless (like a daddy longlegs) and let it crawl on you a bit. It's sure to make you freak out, but the more you do it the more acclimized you'll be to them.
Phobias are funny: I don't have any problem with spiders- they don't even make me blink. But get me near a wasp and I'll run like a girl!

Confront your fear. Spend time around spiders etc.

think of spiders as some trifling creatures and even think that they don't even exist. And truthfully, they don't even attack u! Why being afraid of such small, innocent creatures?... :-)

You can't. You are sick in the head.
