Been struggling for 10 years shooting high. Finally getting older and set my mind to beating it. Left eye dominate but shoot right handed. Started closing my left eye so I can use split vision to at least try and get a repeatable sight picture. I bought the joel turner online course. All I got from that was I learned to let down. Right now I'm drawing 5 times to shoot one arrow cause I know it's not right, why shoot the arrow. It amazes me cause I watch it happen. I draw and all is well. The second I hit anchor the bow arm starts rising till the tip of the arrow is 2 inches below what I'm looking at. Shooting 9 yards in the basement right now so the gap is close to 16 inches. My left and right is fine but my vertical is horrible. When I try and correct the elevation it results in a jerky dropped bow arm and Lord knows where the flinched shot it going. Starting to think the mind is too strong

I switched years ago, it was the single best thing that I did. I hope that works out for you, give it some time.

Lots of others here MUCH more experienced than myself. But I'll throw something out there that worked for me....close BOTH eyes til you come to anchor and settle in. Then open your eye/eyes and line everything up, set your gap etc. Doing that helped me a lot with a bout of target panick.

What trigger you using to complete your shot?

Where is your elbow at full draw, up, down or in line? Are you trying to correct your elevation by moving your bow arm? If so maybe try tilting the torso from the waist, keeping the bow arm still.

According to Joel, and i tend to agree, your subconscious mind is trying to protect your body from the shock of release by moving bow out of the alignment that it knows will bring release (raising your bow arm). To override this you need the conscious mind ‘mantra’, like, “keep pulling” and, what Flash asked about, a felt trigger, like feather touching nose.
So, what is your trigger and what’s your mantra?

I really don't have a trigger. Tried the clicker, that was ugly. Just couldn't focus. I talk myself through the shot. Draw, locked in, and struggle to get the sight picture right. When I fight to get the bow arm down all goes to he'll and I know it's not going to end well and let down. Frustrating as all get out

Give Joel a call or send him a e-mail. I'm confident he can talk you through your issue.

I'd like to see a video of the shot.
The first thing I see wrong is, "I talk myself through the shot". Don't know what that means, but it's not what I'd call a sequence. Not just any sequence, one with a 'set' and 'set up' position.
Right now, with the cold weather you're shooting at 7 yards too far.
You want to get rid of that rising bow arm. Best way to do that, actually the best way to cure anything except aiming is blank bailing. BB is form without aiming.
Then you need a way to add aiming small increments at a time. Like a Bridge Program.
I have a friend, had TP for 5 years. I had him try a clicker. THE NEXT WEEK we shot together and he didn't have the clicker on and I asked him were it was. He said that it didn't work. I won't say a clicker would cure your problem straight out, but you'd have to use it 30 days. I've now cured him without a clicker.
