You have the fear of heights, try this method to get rid of it

News24xx.com - Quoted from the BBC, the woman's name is Fay Nugent who is 48 years old. She began to experience the fear of heights or acrophobia since the age of 30 years.

"It started when I went out with friends over the weekend, we went together and tried a challenging thing called tree-top walk, and after reaching the top of the tree I felt panicked and ill, which made me could not walk anymore" she said. A few years later, the fear of the heights which suffered by Fay got worse.

"At that time I was going to the Take That band concert at the Wembley stadium, it was very crowded and I got a seat that was far behind and very high. I felt like i was in cartoon, my eyeballs seemed to want to get out from my body" she said.

When she entered the age of 48, she tried a therapy that uses Virtual Reality technology as a tool to fight her fear of heights.

The therapy takes about 2 weeks, the meeting is held 5 to 6 times with the duration of each meeting is about 30 minutes. The result is amazing. According to research The Lancet Psychiatry, 70 percent of participants who experience acrophobia is no longer afraid of heights.

"When i completed my therapy treatment. I have no longer afraid with the heights. Recently, I was on the escalator in Finland which has a height of about 30 meters and I'm not afraid anymore" said the woman who works as researcher.
