Following the recent tragedy in Minnesota, mental health experts began speculating that anxious people could develop full-blown bridge phobia, also known as [tag-tec]gephyrophobia[/tag-tec]. Perhaps due to Murphy’s Law and by the repeat broadcast of the incident by media, these people will be on a bridge and they have a panic attack that’s not related to the bridge, and after, they avoid bridges.
Bridge phobia, or an intense fear of another situation or object, is similar to panic disorder, a medical condition characterized by a brief, intense episode of high-level anxiety or terror, according to Johnston. Up to 12 percent, or 6.3 million Americans, suffer from specific phobias, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health.
To make matters worse, even public officials are aggravating the situation by checking bridges which seems to ascertain the fact that “bridges are not really that safe”.
“It’s a nutty way of doing things. To take one extreme example and generalize,†Dr. Marc Sadowsky of Nashua psychiatrist said.
In my opinion, like the retired city truck driver Richard Cote said, “when my time is up, it’s up”. Just relaxed.

Hypnotherapy helps to reprogram your subconscious “programs” that may be part of yourfear. When these programs are “de-bugged” the symptoms ofBridge Phobia often are minimized. However, some people don’t like thefeeling of loss of control in allowing someone else to play with their personal”software”.Hypnotherapy is save and works fast.
