Fear of Flying
Are you wanting to travel more, but find yourself resisting because the thought of flying or getting on an airplane is too scary?
Do you experience dread in the days, weeks or months leading up to a trip?
Perhaps you feel anxiety when the door closes after boarding a plane, or when about to take off.
Or, maybe you feel constant fear during a flight waiting for turbulence, or for something to go wrong.
Fear of flying (or flying phobia) can be a debilitating experience.
Aside from my various areas of mental health specialty, I’m the creator of an internationally recognized approach to helping people overcome fear of flying and flying phobia. This approach is designed with you in mind, whether you are unable to fly at all, or if you still do fly with significant anxiety. As fear of flying varies in experience and underlying causes for everyone, the way we will work together is personalized around your needs as a whole.
I have worked with people all across the world who once felt paralyzed and limited by this fear — possibly similar to how you may feel now. Even though it may be hard to imagine, it actually is possible to overcome fear of flying. and even to become excited by flying. We will work to help you travel with a newfound sense of empowerment, confidence, and freedom.
Our Work Together
While our work together will focus on overcoming fear of flying, another reason people have preferred this approach is because how we work tends to also have a positive impact on other life issues outside of flying, as well. Because we approach this issue more through your emotional process, our work often ends up lowering general anxiety and helping balance other emotional issues, as a whole. In addition to fear of flying, I have specialties in various other areas as a therapist and coach. Therefore, when other life struggles come up that could use our attention, there is room for these conversations to become integrated into our work here (and it is often interconnected anyway, which becomes helpful in the flying process). It is okay for people to come to work on fear of flying while also addressing other goals simultaneously, if this is helpful for your situation. You’re welcome to reach out and we can discuss what your needs are.
