How can I help my girlfriend cure her fear of heights?
You can NOT be cured of a phobia … and I know this because I have three phobias, one of which is a ‘fear of heights’ … and you can not do ANYTHING for your girlfreind. SHE is the ONLY PERSON who can do anything about this phobia. For that reason, I’m not going to even give you things she can do to make it less of a phobia for her … if she wants to get over her phobia, she can ask the question here or do a search or get help from a therapist. I know this stuff because I’m a psychologist, and I have a fear of heights, too … plus two other phobias. I also am not bothered by any of them, because I took care of myself … that is the MOST IMPORTANT thing with phobias … taking care of yourself.
