Eva Mendes Overcomes Fear Through Hypnosis

I do not know exactly what they did not me, but it definitely helped. Now when I see a spider, it does not bother me at all, says Eva.

Hollywood actress Eva Mendes revealed to the media that since childhood she has had a panic fear of spiders, but that she has bravely overcome it.

- 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 – said Eva.

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, she added.

Fear of spiders is called arachnophobia, and Eva decided to get rid of the problem with hypnosis therapy.

- 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. I do not know what they did to me, but it definitely helped. Now when I see a spider, it does not bother me at all. My life is a lot easier – said Eva after spending many hours under hypnosis.
