THE FEAR HEIGHTS

The real risk It’s natural for anyone who finds themselves at extreme and dangerous heights to feel scared, but if you experience fear when you’re a few steps up a ladder or being on the top floor of a secure building, it can be debilitating.

Face it down There are a few easy techniques you can use to face this fear head on.
