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.
I would feel much more better if I was in a crowded elevator then being in one alone.

I hate elevators. I got in one today (rarely do) at work. I was alone, and as soon as it started moving, the power in the building went out. I was stuck alone in the dark between two floors. I could hear employees in the distance cheering because I guess they thought they were going to get to go home. I couldn't even see the buttons to tell which one was the alarm. It came back on shortly after (felt like forever). I had a full fledged panic attack at work...not fun. There is no way anyone will ever convince me to get on one again.
Funny thing is, this was the SECOND time I got stuck in an elevator. First time was short and other people were in there with me, and it wasn't pitch black so it wasn't as bad.
Michele Ryckaert this is a nightmare
Blimey! I got terrible elevator fear after listening this what happened with you im so worried going alone in elevator alone
I would say the best way to get over your elevator fear is to become an elevator mechanic 😋 or just go with an elevator mechanic for a day. Knowing everything about elevators definitely helps 🙌
It take the doors to long to open after reaching your floor.
I hate that alot of buildings have locked stairwells and you have to take the elevator, unless there's a fire.
Agreed.

Sometimes u have to i hate going in elevators but imagine if u have to go to a level 15 u gonna walk all the way up there

delgirl jackson how horrible.
That is an unusually long time to be stuck. The average stuck time in elevators in most large cities is 10 to 15 minutes.
Yes i am elevator phobic
The last time i rode one, it was the worst kind. it was glass. i have a fear of heights as well, so it was like being beaten and you cannot do anything. id look like an idiot but i wanted to curl up in a ball and cry. what i did do was face the only solid wall and have a panic attack..
I have an irrational fear of elevators. Especially ones in older buildings. I will avoid an elevator as much as possible. I haven't been in an elevator for a few years, at least consciously. I had a total hip replacement so of course, they had to take me up and down the elevator. I actually asked the staff if I could take the stairs rather than riding in the elevator. Lol...of course, they couldn't do that and I certainly had no idea lol. Everything he said is what I feel when I'm in an elevator.
Do cell phones work in elevators?
Hi Bob, Yes in many elevators cell phones will work. In a few, they won't work. It's a good idea to have someone who is not fearful of elevators do a test for you.
I am terribly fear of riding in elevator alone , I cant and never able to get inside an elevator alone , how can I get this gone ??
His voice is so smooth
