Eva Mendes had hypnotherapy to cure her spider phobia

Since a young age, Hollywood actress Eva Mendes suffered from a panic fear of spiders. The actress said:

“Ever since I was a little girl I had this problem. When I would see a spider, some sort of psychological blockade would activate, and my reactions were indescribable fear and I would go crazy. I would call somebody to kill it, and after that I would have to see the dead spider in order to believe that it was no longer there.  When I would see a spider at night, and I could not call anybody to kill it, I could not sleep all night. In those situations, I was psychologically lost."
A fear of spiders is incredibly common and is otherwise known as arachnophobia.  Eva decided to give hypnotherapy a try. Eva added:
“I do not know exactly what they did, but it definitely helped. Now when I see a spider, it does not bother me at all.  My life is a lot easier.”
Eva found hypnosis very relaxing and after a few hours of hypnosis, she was cured.  Eva said of the hypnotherapy:
“You lay down, relax, and then go through a few different kinds of relaxation. When you finish, you have the feeling that the whole process took three minutes, but in reality it lasted an hour.”
This description of hypnotherapy is pretty typical of most hypnosis clients.  Hypnosis is a state of relaxation and hypnotherapy is when a hypnotherapist talks to you whilst you are in hypnosis to help you for some therapeutic purpose.
