my 9yo dd is terrified of spiders. she gets hysterical if one surprises her. she regularly wakes in the night an imagines them in bed, on the walls, evreywhere. and cant get back to sleep. if she thinks one is on her she rips off her clothes shrieking. she regularly checks the house for spiders. she wont play in places where they might be eg on our'new'second hand lovely new climbing frame.
how do i help her? so many treatments out there, its hard to know where to start.
any advice?
should i see her GP?
