How do I get over a fear of elevators?
user
Do you want to try to talk about the elevator itself?  Can you explain to me why it scares you, and how it affects you?
assistant
I'm not sure. I feel like it will fall
user
Did you ever have an elevator fall?

Nope

So the idea of an elevator falling is just something in your head?  It doesn’t have any basis in your experience

So it seems like you would benefit from some kind of exposure therapy.  Maybe you could sit in an elevator, close your eyes, and then tell me what you notice in terms of what you feel, hear, see, smell, and anything else
