How do i get rid of my fear?!


Question:

How do i get rid of my fear?

I have a huge fear on worms/caterpillars/maggots.. any creature that have NO legs and crawls on it's body.. like the sight of it scares the living hell out of me.. even if it's just a book.. i wouldnt even dare touching it, i also fainted once because one worm flew up my leg when i was walkin and accidently stepped on it, but the other problem is I love going fishing with my dad.. because that's the only time he let himself open up and talk to me.. but his baits are worms/caterpillars/maggots .. and i don't want to tell him that im terrified of those disgusting creature.. i just dont. So can someone help me get rid of this fear? or at least trying to calm down when i SEE one..


Answers:

I had a similar fear (I won't go into details here) but what helped me some was to force myself to talk about it with someone close to me and then start to learn more about the thing I was afraid of-- the more I learned about it, the less mysterious it was and I was able to at least stand it. I still don't like it but it doesn't have the same power over me as it used to. It sounds hard but you might try it.
