Elena has suffered from an intense fear of heights (acrophobia) for as long as she can remember. She has recently been offered a promotion at work, but the new role requires her to work on the 15th floor of a high-rise office building. A family member suggested she try flooding to cure her phobia quickly.
After researching flooding, Elena is highly anxious about the prospect of immediate, maximum exposure to heights. She asks her GP if there is an alternative psychological therapy that would be more suitable.
Identify an alternative psychological therapy that the GP might have suggested. Explain why this might be an appropriate alternative.
