Itsy Bitsy Spider
Can you cure a fear of spiders? Writer and adventurer Blair Braverman presents the story of a phobia - of Scottish night terrors, Carly Simon, and an experiment in hypnosis.
In this new series, writer and adventurer Blair Braverman presents stories exploring the curious and fascinating ways humans relate to other animals - from magpies to spiders to creatures of the deepest oceans. We begin with the story of a phobia - of night terrors, hypnosis and Carly Simon...
Why is it that so many people are deathly afraid of spiders? Especially in a place like the UK, where all our spiders are harmless. In this episode, Blair follows 29 year-old Elzo, as she attempts to cure her lifelong arachnophobia. Featuring night terrors on the west coast of Scotland, Carly Simon, and an experiment in hypnosis.
