Having a fear can range anywhere from being slightly annoying to all out debilitating.
Our fears can be both illogical or irrational.
Deep rooted or brand new.
One particular fear many of us are wary to admit is a fear of flying.
If this is you, just know you’re in good company.
Fear of flying, or aviophobia, is classified as an anxiety disorder.
Your proactive efforts to control your fear of flying can start way before you even book a plane ticket.
Educate yourself and find the root of your anxiety
Find out how a plane actually works.
Dr. Margaret Wehrenberg, a licensed clinical psychologist suggests asking yourself: “What is the catastrophe?
What do I actually think will happen?
What am I making a big deal out of?
… Answer these questions before you get on the plane,” she recommends (viaSmarter Travel).
Educating yourself and finding the root of youranxietymay help.
But don’t forget, there is always the option to ask for help.
Your choice to get on a plane is fully up to you.
