But what if you have a fear of heights and have no idea how or when or why it started? That's me. One day I was fine, the next day, terrified, with no significant event in between.

Can I say, please. Having a cause is an advantage. Then, in therapy, the negative core beliefs,rules for living, and assumptions can be worked on. But it is not necessary. Graduated exposure therapy may help. However, a therapist and you can explore what happened. A professional can help you find the problem. But it's not vital.

Very heart touching and emotional. I am totally blind and ride buses every day. Never heard of a driving phobia but I am not surprised. I am sure that their are people out their who are afraid of driving cause of this same situation. I am a business owner and a working pianist. It allows me to take the bus to work. I always loved riding the bus and it started back in preschool when I an over an hour and a half to and from school each way. An hour and a half by bus going and coming. I got to know what riding the bus was going to bee like. Now, getting on the bus and riding it to travel and or commuting to work is nothing for me. People ask me all the time if I am scared to ride the bus alone and I ask why should I bee. Especially riding the greyhound alone at night. I telll people that it is not impossible. You just have to do it. Get out their and do it. Many people are inspired by my thinking and Independant’s. Even some sighted people are very scared to get on a bus alone and do stuff like that but it is not hard to do. Probably cause I been doing it all my life and it all started with that bus trip I took back in preschool.
