Step 1
Talk to a therapist. Counseling is the first step to overcoming a fear. Try to talk as much about what causes the fear with your therapist. He/she can help you decide what you should do to overcome your claustrophobia.
-
Step 2
Start placing yourself in non-threatening situations that expressly deal with your claustrophobia. Find small rooms in your house and stay there for 5 minutes at a time. Exposure is usually a good way to start dealing with phobias.
-
Step 3
Hypnosis is a possible alternative treatment. Hypnosis may also help in finding what originally caused your claustrophobia. Ask your therapist if he/she believes hypnosis would help you.
