Book description
Research indicates about 35 of every 100 people develop a fear of
flying at some point in their life. Almost everyone knows someone who
has it. If you've ever mentioned to others that you aren't comfortable
with air travel, you've probably already discovered just how common is
the fear of flying. Fear of flying is a condition that merits proper
attention, and which we are increasingly in a better position to deal
with, particularly thanks to clinical research. We now know that fear of
flying is similar to other phobias, and that it cannot be dismissed
simply as fear of the unknown, and that telling someone to "pull
yourself together" just isn't likely to be an effective way to deal
with the problem. Gaining your freedom to expand your enjoyment of life
is the purpose of this book. The book covers a number of areas,
including valuable information about flying and everything to do with
flying safety. It also covers the nature of anxiety, frequently asked
questions, and of course the self-help strategies that you can employ.
In addition, we deal with professional therapeutic help, and what you
can expect of such treatment. By reading this book you will be less
anxious about stepping into an aircraft and that you will experience the
flight in a positive way, as an enjoyable and interesting event, which
takes you to where you want to be in your life. In their clinical
practice, we have seen thousands of people who have successfully
overcome their fear, and it is likely that you can do so too!
