DrRoberta Dear Dr. Roberta,
My whole life I’ve been afraid of elevators and now my office is moving to the 8th floor. I’m not old enough to retire. What can I do?

Dear Worker,
There are two things you can do and with either one you’ll come out a winner. You can train to get into shape to walk up and down the stairs and you’ll wind up with great leg muscles and some pounds thinner; or you can go to a hypnotist and be cured of your phobia for the rest of your life. Hypnosis works very well for elevator phobias and usually only one session is required.
