Therapy for Fearful Flyers

Get Started with our Free Flight Anxiety Toolkit

You used to fly all the time. But now the thought of flying in an airplane makes you sick to your stomach. You know flying is the safest form of travel, but still can’t talk yourself into booking that trip or getting on the plane.

Whether you haven’t flown in years or still fly when you need to, the experience is filled with dread, tension, and panic.

But the thing is….you WANT to fly.

As years have gone by, you realize you’re missing out on opportunities to spend time with people you love and you’re sick of backing out of invitations. You see friends and family posting pictures of their vacations and it breaks your heart that you have let this fear win once again.

Maybe you still go on vacation but the amount of time and money it’s costing you to drive is costing you extra days in the car rather than at your destination. And driving only limits you to where you can go. You want to have the freedom to be able to go ANYWHERE. Not just where your anxiety tells you to go.

Every time you hear about someone’s vacation, have to say no to another invite, or see someone’s pictures on social media, you vow to not let this happen anymore. But it feels impossible to overcome this. You don’t even want to think about it. Even talking about planning a trip, which should be fun, fills you with anxiety.

When you do finally book that trip, you have hours, days, and weeks filled with dread. You can’t stop thinking about all the terrible things that could happen and just wish you could turn your brain off. You even start to second guess going on the trip. The anticipation of the flight can feel even worse than flying itself. It’s like experiencing bleeding before you are cut.

You see that your fears are irrational but the anxiety just feels so real.

You have tried to wipe away your fears by deep breathing, medications, or having a pre-flight drink. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don’t. All you know, is that they are just band-aids.

You would rather learn other ways of handling this fear so that you can stop avoiding and start living.

WE GET IT, AND WE CAN HELP.

We offer individual therapy, an online course, and group workshops to help you understand your fear of flying and equip you with practical skills for handling fear so you can take that flight with confidence (minus the Xanax).
