Support Alongside the Sessions

Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming is self-guided audio. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, it is not a treatment for phobias or panic, and it is designed to work alongside appropriate professional care.

If your fear of heights is affecting your work, travel or daily life, or comes with panic attacks, talk to your GP. They can talk through options, including a Mental Health Treatment Plan and a referral to a psychologist.

If you are in immediate danger or at risk of harming yourself, contact emergency services immediately. Australia: Lifeline 13 11 14 | Emergency 000. USA: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline | Emergency 911. UK: Samaritans 116 123 | Emergency 999.

How Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming Works

Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming is the structured process within the Mindshift Method, created by Rob Edmonds and delivered through Mindshift Mentors. It works with the patterns of thinking, feeling and reacting that keep repeating. Three disciplines inform it: Strategic Psychotherapy provides the therapeutic strategy, Clinical Hypnosis creates a highly focused state of attention, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques run through the sessions to help interrupt established patterns and support new responses. You are not asked to relive anything or talk through your history. While listening, you remain aware and in control, able to hear what is being said and respond if you choose. Do not listen while driving or operating machinery.

Rob Edmonds
Author and Creator of the Mindshift Method™ and Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming™

Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming is a structured approach aimed at the responses that have become automatic. You listen privately to a recorded session created by Rob Edmonds, so there is no live session and no therapist in the room. Each session is built around a specific recurring pattern. People respond differently, and the time it takes to notice a change varies from person to person.

Why Fear of Heights Can Develop

A fear of heights can come from a mix of past experiences, temperament and the body’s natural caution around falling, and for many people there is no single clear cause.
