Your fear of heights is a natural response to a potentially perilous situation but this emotion can cause panic and chronic anxiety. When you panic at the thought of being in high places, you might want to explore the possibility that you have a phobia. You can use self-hypnosis to guide you as you overcome your fearful emotions, whether you have a phobic conditions or excessive fear.

Phobia of Heights

You know that you have developed a phobia if you avoid situations that might include high places. This avoidance goes well beyond skipping outings at the amusement part. You might avoid driving to a friend's home because you have to travel uphill or you may not visit your doctor because he is on the top floor of a tall building.

Your thoughts and emotional responses serve as indicators as to how severe your condition is. If you think about high places on a regular basis and this subject is an obsession, you need to change your thought processes. If you recognize that your fearful emotions are irrational but you can't control them, you may need assistance.

When your fear of heights interferes with your ability to function on a daily basis, it is time to seek help. Self-hypnosis is an excellent option that can complement various therapies used in the treatment of phobic conditions. This approach works well if you do not have a phobia and simply want to overcome your fear of high places.

Fear of Heights

Whether your emotional response is due to a phobic condition or not, you can seek the guidance that you need. When your condition is severe, you want to seek help from a professional therapist or counselor in order to get a treatment plan in effect. This treatment plan can be augmented with hypnosis as a powerful reinforcement.

Treatment approaches may include interventions like desensitization and cognitive-behavioral therapies. Hypnosis supports these interventions by helping you create new thought patterns through your subconscious mind. You begin to look at heights differently, appreciating the splendid view rather than focusing on irrational fearful emotions.
