Life long Phobia gone in under 90 minutes
I have always been very skeptical about alternative treatments, believing anything "non-medical" to be a trendy new-age fad without scientific basis. At the same time, I have had an intense fear of heights and falling from a young age, not something I can put down to a single event or bad experience but a feeling that regularly makes me very uncomfortable. Simply walking up stairs in tall buildings, or walking over bridges of modest height would send intense feelings of anxiety and nausea around my whole body. My face would be drained of colour, legs turn to jelly and my stomach churn incessantly. This meant that I could not enjoy attractive views and hill walks for example, even escalators in shopping centres would cause me distress.
Ben Huss was recommended to me by a trusted friend. I was told he could help me "turn off" these anxious feelings and release me from this fear that was impacting all areas of my life. I decided to give it a shot and invited Ben to my office for a consultation.
We spent an hour and a half trying a couple of his techniques which involved me doing little more than sitting and talking with Ben about my phobia and some experiences I have had.
Within 90 minutes I was able to walk to the edge of a glass walkway across the top of my eleven-floor office tower and lean out to view my surroundings. By the end of the session I felt entirely comfortable enjoying the view without the associated feelings of anxiety. It was a great relief!
Two months later I visited the Beaulieu National Motor Museum in the New Forest with my girlfriend. We rode the monorail together and she was complaining that she felt a little unsafe. I on the other hand thoroughly enjoyed the ride and stuck my head out of the window to take in the view from the top. I felt entirely relaxed and very pleased with myself.
I would whole-heartedly recommend Ben Huss to anyone who would like their fears conquered. You absolutely will not regret it.
