Hypnotherapy to cure a fear of heights – Acrophobia
Using hypnosis in the form of hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) it is possible to cure your fear of heights or phobia of heights; also known as Acrophobia, Altophobia or Hypsiphobia. It is possible to overcome this phobia.
A fear of heights is quite common. Many people refer to it as vertigo. In fact, vertigo is a description of the physical feeling of being giddy and losing ones balance. Vertigo describes more the physical symptoms associated with a fear of heights.
A similar phobia is Batophobia which is a fear of heights or of being close to tall buildings.
A phobia of heights usually starts with a childhood experience. It may have been an actual physical event or even a scary film or television programme. It may also have been learned from experiencing someone else’s fear, especially if that person was someone emotionally attached to the observer.
A fear of heights can be extremely debilitating, causing distress when ever the sufferer experiences any sensation of height; whether that high up place is looking through a window, walking round a multi level shopping complex or experiencing the scenery from high ground. Acrophobia can send the sufferer into panic driving over bridges and thereby create a driving phobia as well.
Hypnotherapy and NLP is used to help the sufferer to view the initial sensitising experience from a different, safer, perspective. The hypnosis allows you to develop a new perspective that does not hold the emotion that was programmed in by the original experience that caused your phobia.
With hypnosis your acrophobia, phobia of heights can, therefore, be overcome.
