Help for Fear of Crossing Bridges

For some, the fear of bridges is linked to a fear of heights — but not always. It can begin in many ways: perhaps from witnessing an accident, feeling overwhelmed by the openness of a bridge, or even from something long forgotten. Many people with this fear don’t know exactly how or when it started.

Just thinking about crossing a bridge — whether driving or walking — can trigger strong anxiety. High bridges or those over water often feel especially daunting. Some people even plan long detours to avoid them, which can interfere with travel, holidays, and daily life.

Often the mind knows bridges are safe, yet the fear persists because it lives in the subconscious. That’s where real change needs to happen.

Hypnotherapy can help uncover and gently release the root of this fear, so you can approach bridges with calm and confidence. There’s no need to let this fear limit your life.
