Exposure for riding in elevators


15 years ago 0 101 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I use to hate elevators, then I was forced more or less to face them because I was staying at a big hospital (visiting someone else ).  I had to travel them or walk up and down endless flights of stairs.  It was much more rational to take the elevator and I overcame my fear!!!!! Repetition does work !

Members,

Do you struggle with anxiety? Today we will be looking at sample exposure plans to help you overcome your fears.

If you fear riding in elevators…

* Go to a building and watch the elevators for an hour

* Go up or down 1 floor with a safe person for ½ hour

* Go up or down 2 floors with a safe person for an hour

* Go up or down 3 or more floors with a safe person for an hour

* Travel up or down 1 floor by yourself for 1 hour

* Travel up or down 2 floors by yourself for 1 hour

* Travel up or down 3 floors by yourself for 1 hour

* Gradually travel up or down more floors for 1 hour

* Travel in a different elevator in the same building

* Travel in a different elevator in a different building

* Ride in several different elevators in several different buildings for an hour

 Is riding in an elevator a big fear for you?   Sylvie, Bilingual Health Educator
