Thank you we’re back speaking with our guests Stephanie.

So Stephanie you told our producers that you used to have some kind of phobia.

Yeah, I used to be so totally afraid of heights, crazy afraid, it’s called acrophobia if I had to stand on a high ladder are going to tall building I.

thought it was awful.

What would happen? Can you talk about it? As soon as I got up hi, my heart would start beating really fast.

I’d have trouble breathing. I get so scared I feel sick. The worst was when I was driving over a high bridge. I wanted to just stop driving just get out of my car and get off the bridge and panic.

So what would you do? I mean you can avoid bridges when you’re driving right?

Now is you get, right. So I went to a doctor as she knew a good treatments. It’s worked for me. I mean, I still get a little nervous, but at least I can drive to work now.

Well, that’s great. Is that great everyone.
