This is also pictured in NOVA: memory hackers on Netflix (last accessed in Brazil, in case it is region locked). It documents the process of treating arachnophobia in a patient that clearly has an extreme aversion to spiders and it is incredible.
Stupid question: can you watch it if you have arachnophobia yourself?
sorry I was late to answer. Yep, it just shows one tarantula by itself and the participant is asked to try to touch the spider, and that is it. I guess if you are triggered that easily you could skip the scene, but the spider scene is very mild
Thanks for the pointer. I can access it here in the US.
