Thanks for sharing. I will definitely check out your links.

Have you written any articles regarding fear of falling? I have it bad! I made a lot of progress with physical therapy until insurance cut me off again. I progressed from always using a rollator to sometimes just walking with a cane in the house. But I can't get past the debilitating fear.

It may sound silly but I've actually been considering practicing falling techniques if I can get a PT. who would work with me. I have some judo tutorials that teach it but initially you need a spotter to assist.

Pt's have taught me how to get up if I fall but none are willing to teach me how to fall down.
Lol! 🤣

p.s.
I have had neuropathy for about 5 years and never fallen. Too scared.

Plese see this 10 minute video about a technique that you can do yourself that is very helpful for phobias: https://www.paintreatmentdirectory.com/articles-videos/do-this-to-quickly-reduce-stress-and-pain-naturally. Do it while focusing on your fear of falling. Don't be surprised if your fear is gone in just a few minutes.
