Add my name to the list. When the next inquisition comes, they can dispense with the hot pokers and testicle crushers, just put me in a cable car, and I'll tell everything

Thanks to Paper Tiger for identifying my phobia as bathophobia, I'd always admitted to acrophobia, which somehow seemed inconsistant with the things that I love to do in aeroplanes

Confronting one's greatest fears is good therapy, in the sense that the original poster is conducting a psychological survey, I'm wondering if the wish to confront our fears head-on plays any role in this. Is this different to those who are drawn to occupations which are attractive to a person with fetishes, e.g. I believe that necrophiliacs are drawn to the funeral industry (with apologies to the majority in that industry who are not necrophiliacs).

Regards, Look forward to the research results,
