Usually, what I have heard for people having certain phobia's is to do what ever the phobia is, like say you hate snakes... YOU ABSOLUTELY HATE THEM. But you know that you really don't have a reason to be afraid of them, because most of them are harmless any ways... But you want to get over your phobia of being afraid of them, so you hold one... You know, that is what you can do. Other than that I have no idea how you could get over the phobia.

I would have to know what the phobia is sweetie, before I can give you any advice,

Try to face your phobia in a safe environment in little steps. Without knowing your exact phobia, it's difficult to suggest anything. I myself am mildly claustrophobic. I've found that closing my eyes and visualizing an open area when I'm in a tight spot helps. I'm including a few links for you to look at.

If you cannot overcome your phobia on your own, it may be necessary for you to seek counseling. They can offer support, medication if needed, and other strategies that will help.

A full-blown phobia is awfully hard to tackle alone. It's generally best to get some professional help.
That said, relaxation techniques and self-hypnosis are one good place to start. Begin by taking three deep slow breaths. Then tense and relax each muscle group, beginning with the feet and working your way up to the scalp. Take it slow. Imagine yourself in a beautiful, safe, relaxing place.
If you can practice that every night, you should be able to get pretty good at it. Try it when your phobia is triggered; it should help.
That's a VERY quick introduction, and there are more advanced techniques, but you really should talk to a professional for more help. There are a number of treatment options that they can offer you. Remember, you don't have to live your life in fear.
Good luck!

The best way to overcome any phobia (of spiders, heights, milk, whatever) is to hit it straight in the head. Do alot of research about your phobia, for instance, if you're afraid of spiders, research the spiders in your area to see which ones are poisonous and which ones aren't. Find out which ones eat what and how they make their webs. In fact, most extremely deadly spiders don't even live in America. Perhaps you live in England? There aren't alot of deadly spiders there either. Probably the most poisonous spider in either place is the Black Widow or the Brown Recluse. You never see these spiders because they hide away. Find out everything you can about your phobia, and how other people overcame it. Then, put it to the test. If you're afraid of spiders, start off slow. Go to the zoo and look at the spiders. Then try and find a common house spider at your home or in your garden, and just be around it. Then, once you're brave enough, try and pick it up. Follow the same method for any phobia.

The best way to overcome a phobia is to face it head on. If you are scared of spiders for example, you are suppose to expose yourself to them, hold them and see how there really isn't anything to be scared of.
