I am afraid of heights. I did not really overcome it, I just deal with it and make myself push passed the fear. The more height related things I do, the less it bothers me. Start out with something easy and work your way up to higher, scarier things. Climb a ladder. Go on your roof, go hiking, go mountain biking, drive on shelf roads, drive or walk over bridges, climb a tower, look out the window of a tall building, etc.
I guess if you truly have a phobia you may not be able to overcome it. |

I used to be terrified but I got tired of not being able to do fun things because of fear. Also I work with heights at work now, and facing the fear repetivaly because I have to do it to get paid had really helped <a href="http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MichaelSmith10/media/B826884D-0192-4FE5-8F91-45D2C5408B97_zpsffhyl0f4.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w487/MichaelSmith10/B826884D-0192-4FE5-8F91-45D2C5408B97_zpsffhyl0f4.jpg</a> Changing bulbs on a 60' light pole <a href="http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MichaelSmith10/media/397C6C59-252D-4BE2-B036-CAA718163048_zpsgguo5qgx.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w487/MichaelSmith10/397C6C59-252D-4BE2-B036-CAA718163048_zpsgguo5qgx.jpg</a> This was a mill on the river somewhere around 150' O'RLY? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgO4Gd4RhvM

Just have to expose yourself to it. It will feel uncomfortable; but you can't let that feeling control you. Yep. I was deathly afraid of heights until I installed my own roof. No more! Confront your fear head on and make it your bitch. |
