Marv-
That strikes a chord with me as well. Willravel, before you point out our other recent discussion, I'm here for advice, whether given by a trained psychologist, or someone else going through it. Knowledge is always good, even if we don't give 100% credit to the source all the time.
At any rate, I have a fairly extreme fear of heights, and also have claustrophobia pretty badly. I don't even generally like wearing a baseball cap because it limits my range of vision. Drives me nuts! Cars I can deal with, but the CAT scan thing... man, I'd be clawing at the walls after a few minutes. I'm pretty good at meditation and relaxation, but I don't know that I'd be able to control it under such a critical situation. Even thinking about it spikes my heartrate. Heights are the same way for me. I need some feeling of security. I can fly in an airplane and look down and think it's cool because I feel safe. However, being on a cliff (even back a ways) with a railing and a tether get me a bit upset. Needless to say, Basic Training had some difficult moments.
