Dear Felix:

You asked me earlier: “Do you have any solutions in healing this ‘obsession'”?

I don’t. If you saw a competent mental health professional regarding this obsession/ pre-occupation, that would be best for you. I already gave you all my input on the matter in previous threads. What I can add here, based on your answers to my four questions, is the following:

1. Don’t try to not think about heights (your height, others’ heights)

2. When you notice that you started thinking about heights, take three slow breaths and relax. Don’t try to stop thinking about it; don’t try to distract yourself. In other words, instead of trying to run away from the thinking, stay still and take a few slow breaths.

– Stop running away from these thoughts and they will stop running after you!
