How to overcome fear of heights? How can I overcome my fear of heights?

Acrophobia is a kind of special phobia disorder, in which the patient's fear of the high environment is not in harmony with the external environment, and when facing the high environment, it will produce unreasonable fear experiences, and it is often accompanied by tension and anxiety, and even symptoms of autonomic nervous dysfunction.

Patients often refuse to ascend in order to avoid fear. In response to such a situation, first of all, a sequential system of desensitization** or exposure** can be used to intervene, exposing the patient to a high environment to reduce the patient's emotional response, and at the same time, through relaxation, respiratory control or cognitive methods to help the patient deal with the anxiety response that occurs, and gradually not be afraid of climbing over time.

For fear of heights, you can first stand on the lower floors and try to look downstairs for a short time every day, and when we get used to this process, we can try to increase the height of the floor and the time to look down, and slowly overcome our inner fear of heights. Be sure to train every day and set a goal and plan. In addition, when you have free time, you can participate in some extreme sports such as mountaineering, bungee jumping and roller coasters.

However, it is necessary to make sure that your physical condition allows it.

Try to relax your mood more, and learn to believe in yourself for fear of heights, so that you don't have a sense of fear.

The most fundamental way to overcome fear of heights is to keep the patient in a high place for about half an hour, and then slowly increase the time at a later stage, during which it is best to let the patient divert attention. If the fear of heights is reduced and persevered for a long time, the fear of heights can be effectively overcome, and if the fear of heights is still not overcome, there is no need to worry too much, as long as you do not exercise at heights.

There are several ways, the first is that if you live on a high enough floor, you can lie down from the window every day and look down for half an hour to an hour every day to get used to the sense of looking down at this height. The second is to look online for some top-down views of the mountains. The third is to find some skydiving**.

The above are all familiar to you, at a certain height, the feeling of looking at the ground, you won't be afraid if you see too much. Finally, you can find an amusement park with no people, and then only do the project of jumping machine, and get used to the feeling of diving down from a height.

We must insist on exercising, continue to exercise, and eliminate the problem of fear of heights can not be completed in a day or two, and we should insist on exercising every day to achieve results. Before, a relative of mine had a particularly serious fear of heights, and then he chose a job on a construction site, running upstairs every day, and it didn't take long for him to have no symptoms of fear of heights. If you want to overcome your fear of heights, you must have a certain plan and insist on going to a high place every day to carry out adaptation activities.

1.Lack of visual information.

When we stand on top of a very tall building, when we look down, the distance will be very far, which will cause the object we see to shrink a lot, and this visual effect will be completely different from what we normally see, and this lack of information will lead to fear.

2.No valid references found.

We see all kinds of things with our eyes, and the sense of distance must be measured by a reference. When looking at something from a high place, there is no valid reference object as a reference in the distance, so you can only look downward, and the distant scene below is something that we rarely see in our daily life, so a sense of fear arises.

Relax and take a deep breath.

The fear of heights is innate, and most people are the same. You can only get used to it slowly by exercising slowly. Slowly, the mentality will be able to accept it. It doesn't work to rely on someone else to say something.

Fear of heights can be alleviated by psychological **, and you can also choose to self-regulate the method of relief, generally after suffering from fear of heights, usually when standing in a high place, there will be dizziness, and it may also cause shortness of breath, and do not dare to go up to a tall building, fear of heights is likely to be because of too much nervousness, and may be the reason for being frightened in the early stage.

For those who have fear of heights, we can first stand on the lower floor and try to look downstairs for a short time every day, and when we get used to this process, we can try to increase the time of the floor and look down, and slowly overcome our inner fear of heights.

The fear of heights can be improved by exercising your guts, standing by the window on a tall building and looking down at each other, and slowly raising the floor, you can control the fear of heights.

People with fear of heights are generally born, and if you want to overcome this kind of exercise, which can only be produced little by little, it is psychological, but it is not just a matter of talking, it is not an overnight thing.

If you want to take the test casually, then you must pass this level, and you must make up your mind to eliminate psychological interference first, and work hard for your goals, and you will be afraid of heights.

I have a good friend who has a fear of heights, I pull her every day to look down slowly from a high place, but she didn't dare to look at it at first, but once we went out to a fairly high place, about 200 meters (from the ground) but the direction we stood to see the ground is tilted, as if not far from the ground, because of the different perspectives, she is not afraid to look at the ground, so as long.

Fear of heights should be very familiar to us, because people around us will more or less have some fear of heights, fear of heights will seriously affect the normal life and work of our human body, but many friends with fear of heights do not know how to effectively overcome the fear of heights

Many of us will be more afraid of heights, especially when we climb mountains or visit some relatively tall buildings by ourselves, when we look down, we will have a certain sense of vertigo and make ourselves uncomfortable, but this so-called fear of heights can also be overcome to a certain extent.

In fact, the reason why we have a fear of heights is mainly related to our growth experience, when we are young, we may often be taught by our parents not to go to a high place, because it will be more dangerous, or when we were young, we had the experience of falling from a relatively high place and falling into a blue nose and swollen face, so we are more afraid of heights and dare not go to a higher place, but when we become adults, as long as we dare to muster up the courage to constantly challenge ourselves, So to a certain extent, we can overcome this fear of heights, especially for some boys, when we see that other boys around us are not in this situation, then out of a kind of proof of ourselves, a kind of emotion to help ourselves regain self-confidence, we can still let ourselves overcome the fear of heights.

It is for children, I personally think that parents do not need to let their children overcome their fear of heights, after all, when the children are relatively young, their safety awareness is relatively weak, and it can even be said that they do not have safety awareness, if the child does not have a fear of heights, casually climb some relatively tall buildings or objects, then there will be great safety hazards.

1. Drugs: Drugs are generally the use of some psychotropic drugs, the main category is some anti-anxiety drugs, the core goal is to eliminate people's fear of things, so as to achieve the purpose of exposure to acrophobia, but this method is not a cure for the symptoms, and psychotropic drugs are harmful to the body.

2. Behavior**: Behavior is divided into four kinds, in fact, acrophobia is a kind of phobia, drugs have a certain effect, but the most effective is behavior**, the first method is systematic desensitization, so that patients can carry out self-desensitization through systematic desensitization, through this method, eliminate the connection between fear and fear to achieve the first effect. The second is exposure**, which exposes the patient to a high place for a long time, and forms a certain inertia by being exposed to scary things for a long time, so as to eliminate the sense of fear.

The third is exercise**, through a certain amount of exercise, your body functions are in an excellent state, and then all kinds of balance sensory organs in the body will be online, and you can finally get rid of acrophobia. The last one is the shock, which is also the most effective of all, the main operation method is to make the patient think that he is on a platform that will rise, and then let the patient rely on his own imagination to continue to rise, and finally overcome the fear of heights.

That is to say, if some correct methods are used, the problem of fear of heights can be alleviated or even completely solved to a certain extent, in fact, it is recommended to use the method of behavior to overcome the fear of heights, because the method of behavior is safer and more effective than the method of drugs.
