5 TIPS TO OVERCOME YOUR FEAR OF HEIGHTS
1. Prepare yourself.
If you know that you are going to be in a situation that will expose you to acrophobic symptoms, take time to prepare yourself for the encounter, such as tandem skydiving.
2. Take it slow.
Back in the bad old days, psychologists treated phobias by (literally, in the case of fear of swimming) throwing people into the deep end. As you can imagine, this particular technique freaked people out to the extent of permanent damage. Patients’ phobias were considerably worse on the other end of that–and, often, the sufferer was saddled with severe additional trauma.
In the modern era, we’ve done away with that poppycock. Enlightened psychologists still recommend that people confront their fear, but that they approach it steadily, at their own pace. To proceed, set small goals–like, for instance, working an inch closer to a certain balcony railing every day. Success happens sooner than you’d think.
3. Visualize success.
With eyes closed, visualize in detail all of the security precautions that will surround you in the situation you’re about to enter. Feel the solidity of the barrier; feel the comforting hug of the harness; in your mind’s eye, slide your hand along the railing. Let these feelings sink into your subconscious, where they can help you when your heart starts pounding.
4. Breathe.
Anxiety-inducing situations have the unnerving tendency to make people forget to breathe–and not breathing makes anxiety so much worse. Make sure you get plenty of oxygen to the brain by taking deep, regular belly breaths.
5. Take it easy on yourself.
Acrophobia doesn’t dissolve in a day. Allow yourself the time and space you need to work on this challenge, without pressure or judgment. Be as gentle with yourself as you’d be with a beloved friend, and allow a less-acrophobic self to develop organically. You owe yourself that self-kindness!
