Any cure for fear of heights?

facing your fear is the only way, so they tell me. there are places to go and people to talk to that will help you do just that. go for it if you want. personally, my feet are doing just fine staying flat on the ground.

Fear of heights is one of the most widespread fears ever. And as most fears , it is often not standalone but coming with other phobias, especially fear of flying to name one.

Being not as intimidating as other phobias can be, people suffering with fear of heights often try to live with it without getting a help, accomodating their lifestyle to the limitations (Imagine it: Forget visiting the Eiffel tower in Paris or Manhattan skyscraper. Never see beautiful mountain views. Holidays without visiting medieval castles. Summer without water jumping. Living on a ground floor home, limitation to possible career choices and even employer choices -- no skyscrapers, again.) Maybe IT IS quite intimidating, after all?

The scientific latin names are acrophobia, altophobia, batophobia (fear of being close to high buildings), and acrophobia.

But how to fix the heights phobia? That's a question people often ask at this point impatiently, not being interested in theoretical explanations. Some of the methods that work good enough are gradual desensitivitation, REBT, NLP or timeline therapy, to name a few. More and more material about them and other aspects of heights phobia will appear on this web.

I used to be seriously afraid of heights.. I wouldn't even go on roller coasters because they were so high up. So one day I decided to takle my fear.. in a very extreme way. I went skydiving! It was awesome and most definitly cured my fear because now I associate hright with things that are fun.

a fear of heights is a mental problem meaning its something only you can solve. When you believe in yourself is when you will be cured. Hope i helped!

The best cure is to sit on the edge of the Eiffel Tower for as long as it takes you to realize that unless you jump or fall off, nothing will happen.

Alas, you know the cure is jumping off the edge. Its horrid.

adjust. if you're not deathly afraid, go to high places with someone. and adjust yourself to it.

the best way to face something is head on.

Try to do challenges, small steps at a time to get over it... any ideas for me. i am too?

Don't look down?

YEA GET OVER IT!
