One can combine relaxation techniques with guided imagery that is associated with the phobic situation. First begin by imagining the height that triggers your fear. Focus on your anxiety response to the height as you imagine. For example, can this imagery trigger on a scale from 0-10 where 10 is the most anxious a 9 or 10. If so let your anxiety register and then begin the relaxation by breathing sequential muscle tensing and relaxing and imagining being in a relaxing peaceful place. Once you replace the anxious imagery with this soothing peaceful imagery you have begun the process of mastering the phobia. Now you simply practice this sequence over and over to gain a sense of agency over the phobic situation. When you feel you have agency you can go to a real height and use this intervention
