About this listen

In this episode of the Hope Clinic, Tom addresses his fear of large buildings, known as megalophobia. Nik and Eva explore how anxiety in early childhood often creates lasting fears, and Tom traces his phobia back to instances involving his father's fear of heights, particularly during visits to places like the Blackpool Tower and a high-rise building in Birmingham. Through guided introspection, Tom learns that the buildings themselves were never the cause of fear; rather, it was his interpretation based on his father's anxiety. By reassessing his childhood memories with newfound understanding, Tom experiences a significant reduction in his fear.
