The Takeoff Today Program
Take just a minute and imagine you’re on board an airplane, going someplace you’re really looking forward to visiting. You’re relaxed and comfortable in your seat, with a calm, peaceful mind when you notice that you’re actually enjoying the peace and quiet of the flight.
You hear the steady ‘whoosh’ of the engines and find it soothing, like the sound of waves breaking randomly and steadily on the ocean shore. What used to cause you so much stress and anxiety has is now something you actually look forward to as a time that you can let go and be at peace.
You look out the window and see the crisp blue sky and puffy white clouds far beneath you, and you remember sitting in your chair and first reading these words - when I told you that your next flight could be different - therefore you smile to yourself as you realize that this moment, RIGHT NOW was when flying started to change for you...
What Causes a Fear of Flying?
A fear of flying can severely impact a persons life, in far more ways than it may well show up on the surface. Those struggling with a fear of flying may limit their travel by plane, pass up on career opportunities, miss out on spending time with friends and family, and generally suffer a lack of self esteem by being kept back by a flying phobia.
So what causes a fear of flying to begin with? This can be somewhat unique to everyone, but some people with anxiety about flying may have had a bad experience on a previous flight, such as going through severe turbulence.
Others may have never had a bad flight or any other specific reason for their anxiety while flying in a plane, yet their fear being “trapped” at cruise altitude causes them to feel anxious or have a panic attack while flying. Still others may not trust the skills and abilities of the pilot or other flight crew, or may not comprehend the physics of how planes fly, so they fear crashing.
It is vital to bear in mind that regardless of the ultimate cause of the anxiety about flying, there truly is nothing to fear. Even those that had a bad experience with flying were almost certainly in no real danger at any point during the flight. Commercial planes can withstand much more turbulence than is typically seen during flight, and even situations that seem incredibly dangerous, like the rare occasion of an engine failure, are really quite safe due to pilot training and redundant systems.
The Takeoff Today Program teaches all this and more!
Anxiety and panic attacks while flying can feel very uncomfortable and make fearful fliers sometimes feel that they will lose control or that the fear will escalate to a point that mentally overwhelms them and puts them in danger, but this simply doesn’t happen from anxiety. Even extreme anxiety in the form of a panic attack on board an airplane presents no real danger, although they can be very frightening.
The best way to get over a fear of flying is to approach treatment from a systematic approach that covers not only the safety of flying itself, but that teaches you how to modify your reaction on board so you gain the skills and knowledge that will allow you to put an end to your anxiety or panic on the flight. The Takeoff Today Program teaches all this and more, using written, audio, and even video material.
You can even get an extensive amount of complimentary material, including the poplar “Flight Crew Q&A Report” which answers the most common questions fearful fliers have via interviews with pilots, flight attendants, air traffic controllers, mechanics, and others in the aviation industry.
