Acrophobia is an extreme and illogical fear of being in high places. The fear is subjective, and it can take place on the second rung of a ladder, a bridge, or standing on a chair. The horror can result in symptoms from general anxiety to genuine terror and when in this state of mind, the person would not be convinced that they could get down from the height safely.
They say that this can be conquered with participation in hypnotherapy treatment. Hypnosis takes advantage of the subconscious, and although it does not work for everyone, it is an excellent first step on your journey to cure your fear of heights.
