Suffering from fear of heights can interfere with your work, prevent you from going to your favorite holiday destinations, or make you avoid visiting friends and relatives. Places where you can be confronted with your fear, such as balconies, elevators, high buildings, and bridges are an ordeal, and often avoided. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Many people suffer from fear of heights.

If fear of heights is left untreated it can become worse and even chronic. For many people getting regular treatment is difficult due to its high costs or time constraints. For this reason we have developed ZeroPhobia – Fear of Heights. ZeroPhobia allows you to get rid of your fear in your own time, without having to leave your house, and for a fraction of the cost of regular treatment

ZeroPhobia is an encompassing self-help treatment based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in combination with exposure in virtual reality. In six different modules you will learn about the possible causes of your fear, what makes it so persistent, and what you can do about it. You will learn different techniques to deal with your fear and how to reduce it. In virtual reality you will be confronted with your fear in a way that is challenging but manageable in a gamified environment using a basic and widely available cardboard VR viewer. A virtual therapist guides you through every step of the program.

Evidence-based

ZeroPhobia is developed by researchers and therapists. The effectiveness of ZeroPhobia was recently tested by a team of researchers from VU University in a large-scale randomized controlled trial . The results of the trial show that ZeroPhobia is effective in reducing fear of heights.

ZeroPhobia can also be integrated in regular therapy. More information and a manual for practitioners can be found here.
