I don't see any reference to a fear of specifically being 'lifted up' anywhere. It could be a more acute form of Aphenphosmphobia (or Haphephobia) which is the term for the broader fear of just being touched.

It could be just another manifestation of being trapped like enclosed spaces i.e. Claustrophobia New phobia names are being made up each day, it matter not what we call them other that are area all basically the same "An outward expression of inner anxiety".
