I had this horrible fear called Entomophobia- fear of insects and I just screamed and ran when I saw insects of any kind.
Having a picnic outside was not heard of as well as sitting outside around the bonfire with my family.
To overcome this fear I read Energy Therapy and it helped me in overcoming my fear. It took some time, but I kept it up until I was finally able to be outside or even in my basement were insects were.
I just wanted to drop you a note to express my thanks for a good book that has information that works.
