FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, MY LIFE WAS CONSTRAINED BY MY FEAR OF HEIGHTS
I was paralysed by escalators, and in a shopping centre would regularly have to ask strangers if I could hold on to them as we went down. Open staircases were impossible. Boat ramps, even though I love to sail, were a horror.
In 2008, on the flat roof part of my house in London the builder wanted to show me the reason why it had been leaking onto the balcony. The second I stepped outside to stand beside him, he said, “oh! I didn’t know you were afraid of heights!” That obvious, huh?
I was talking with my friend Mary who knew someone who had their fear removed in one simple painless session. The friend was afraid of driving over a bridge. Why is it so simple to fix, I asked. She said it only required simple phobia therapy, which, if done correctly, can remove the phobia in one easy painless session.
I almost stopped breathing. Just one simple session and I no longer would be paralysed by escalators, by ramps, by open staircases, by ladders?
I have no idea why I’d never heard of it before, but it worked. After my first session, the fear was completely gone, I can remember I used to be scared witless, but it just doesn’t trigger any emotion any more.
I’m not going to say I never give heights a thought. I do. Then I realise how relieved I am, and I thank Mary once again for telling me about this amazing simple painless process.
