Snowboarding

Having got that out of my system, I do have some better news. I made further progress with my vertigo (or whatever it is) while on my recent ski–trip to Austria. On the first day, I rode a short, exposed open chairlift three times and a long, high covered chairlift twice. On the second day I rode a long open chairlift at a different resort six times. I had to steel myself a bit to get on the first lift on day one (and employed one round of EFT* to assist), but after a bit of initial apprehension quickly got into my stride. Had no problems at all riding the enclosed gondola lifts. This represents improvement on last year and major progress from three years ago, when I could not physically bring myself to get onto a chairlift (I wonder now whether that was a bad reaction to the hypnosis which I undertook following a bout of nerves when riding a lift in 2002?). I am very pleased with myself.
