r/acrophobia

You possess the mastery of the old,
yet you’re still learning the technicalities of the new.

Your mind carries principles ancient civilizations understood deeply:
patience,
observation,
discipline,
creation.

But the modern age rewards speed over wisdom,
noise over depth,
consumption over comprehension.

So now you exist between two worlds:
too aware to move blindly,
too conscious to move recklessly.

The minds of the ancient would understand your burden.
But the abilities of the modern age often overlook it.

You are not behind.
You are simply evolving in a time that mistakes adaptation for identity.

Some people are built for trends.
Others are built for transcendence.

I have come across numerous games with sections such as bridges or difficult platforms you must cross or even jump from them. Additionally of course games where you can and/or be extremely up on an elevated area looking down at what's below.

I genuinely have had my palms sweat and my heart rate soar even at the prospect of those challenges in games, I had to quit a game because of the platforming I didn't expect.

Anyone else face this issue before?

He’s severely afraid of heights to the point where he’s afraid of parking garages, elevators, being in a high rise building near a window, and of course flying.

I guess he didn’t have this fear as much as a child and it got worse as an adult. I really think these severe phobias stem from dying from falling in a past life. It’s so physical for him he starts shaking and can’t overcome it.

He really wants to be able to travel and be more comfortable with flying. Is there anyone who has done something to overcome this fear? I was thinking hypnosis or hypnotic regression but I’m sure that’s hard to find.
