Can miracle cures sort your fear of flying?

I was interested to read the Post regarding overcoming fear of flying, and felt it was important to highlight that there are a variety of ways deal with the problem, which do not necessarily involve the experience of being one a several “Embarrassed strangers clustered together.”

Also to say that I certainly wouldn’t suggest people would ‘love flying’ by the end of the day” I can quite understand why the author adds ” My inner sceptic raised an eyebrow.”

As in most fields, there are always a number of “courses for horses” – or should that be the other way around? One such option is the individualised approach developed by a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, and which includes a return European flight on a scheduled plane. If anyone with a fear of flying would like to find out more about this, please conct me at http://www.freedomtofly.biz.

Hope that this will provide a helpful expansion within the knowledge of the options available.

I hate flying. No, it’s not the frustrating obstacle course of shoe removal, sweeps and patdowns, oppressive crowds, interminable queues, perspiratory delays and airplane food (or lack of it) that makes every trip a challenge. (Though all of the above are worthy reasons to dread air travel.) No, for me, it’s the loss of control that accompanies my first footsteps into the claustrophobic cylinder that my fervid imagination assumes will be my coffin. For the next however-many hours, my life is out of my hands — and I can no longer find refuge in my delusion that my health and safety are 100 percent under my control.
