Elevator Phobia Therapy - DFW, Frisco, Allen, Garland Texas
Hello, I'm psychotherapist Steve B. Reed. As a specialist in working with anxiety, panic attacks and phobias, I often have the opportunity to help people get over a fear of riding in elevators.
A fear of elevators is often a form of claustrophobia. Claustrophobia being the fear of being trapped or confined in a small space. It is estimated that about 4% of the population worldwide suffers from this type of phobia.
If you have an elevator phobia, the sight of those doors closing can trigger an immediate feeling of anxiety and panic.
You may begin to feel your heart rate elevate as the elevator begins to rise. Your blood pressure may go up too. You may feel shaky, tense and experience rapid breathing.
Even glass elevators, where you can see outside, can trigger other phobias such as a fear of heights.
These fears happen because the alarm center of your brain has made a mistake. It is associating a ride in the elevator as a dangerous activity.
Your brain may have associated a bad experience in a closed space or in a high place as overwhelming or painful.
When you are in a situation that feels similar, your brain then remembers the distress and causes you to go into a fight-or-flight reflex.
Fortunately, there are effective therapies and treatment for the fear of elevators. With help, you can learn to associate calmness, comfort and relaxation with riding in an elevator.
