Agony Aunt Em
Do you have something you want to get off your chest? Then let Aunt Em help you out!

Dear Aunt Em,

I’ve recently come back from a trip to the USA with my brother. We explored the USA in
a camper van and were having a great time until we reached Arizona and went on a
helicopter trip to see the Grand Canyon. 1 My brother shouted to me over the
noise of the engine, ‘‘Have you ever seen anything so incredible?’’ Before I could
answer, I heard the engine slow down and felt the helicopter shake. I was terrified. 2
We landed straight away and the pilot reassured us that it was nothing serious. I’ve
tried to forget about it but I haven’t been on an aeroplane and have had a fear of
heights ever since. 3 Please help!
Terrified, Hampshire

Dear Terrified,

4 I suggest you slowly build up your confidence. Try going to the first floor of a
building and when you are ready, keep going up until you reach the top floor. Also, have
you ever been to a support group with the same fears to talk about what happened?
