Acrophobia: Conquering Your Fear of Heights with a Zipline Adventure
Our fears can seem impossible to overcome regardless of how rationally we think about the reality of the situation. Acrophobia, or fear of heights, is one of the most common phobias that impact people on a day to day basis. From missing out on rock climbing trips with friends to feeling paralyzed in fear instead of taking in a beautiful scene from a high vantage point, fear of heights can cause you to miss out on life. At Empower Adventures, we believe that exposing yourself to your fears helps you to become a more adventurous, positive person. We believe that a zipline adventure is a safe, effective way to conquer your fears. Read on to learn about why a zipline adventure is a perfect method for beating your fear of heights.
You Will Not be the Only Person Facing Your Fear
First, it is important to realize that it is very common for our guests to have a fear of heights. Over the years, we have helped hundreds of people overcome their fear of heights. Even those who look at our tree top adventure and proclaim, “I can’t go up there!” We specialize in helping those people enjoy our zipline adventure tour. It is important to remember that even though you are in the tree tops, you are still extremely safe. You will be connected to a steel safety cable at all times when off the ground. In addition, our professional guides are thoroughly trained and experienced in zipline adventure safety procedures. These safety guides remain with you throughout the entire course and are always available to support and guide you.
The First Step of the Zipline Adventure is the Most Difficult
For most people, stepping off the platform for the first time is the most difficult part of our zipline adventures. However, after taking that first step, chances are you will forget your fear as you fly through the air and take in the exhilarating view. You wouldn’t believe how often people go from fear to pure joy once they overcome their fear and take that first step.
Exposure Therapy Can Help Cure Acrophobia
Other treatments like medication only address the symptoms of the fear. Fear of heights generally stems from trauma during your development, some sort of bad experience or emotion related to heights. One of the most effective methods of overcoming that trauma is to face your fear and expose yourself to that phobia in a safe way. A zipline adventure is the perfect exercise for facing that fear. You remain completely safe while still getting the rush of adrenaline and excitement that comes with a zipline adventure.
