Fear Of FlyingHow Phobias Work | The Cure | Other Treatments | Tools Fear of flying causes countless people needless fear. To add insult to injury fear of flying courses and fear of flying classes needlessly expose people to their fear over and over again, sometimes for a period of weeks. Where I come from they call that torture - and they don't pay people hundreds or thousands of dollars to do it to them! Sometimes called aviophobia or aerophobia, flying fear is not just a healthy concern about airline safety. It's a phobia that can cause panic attacks and keep people from traveling to see loved ones, taking a vacation or closing a business deal. In my experience fear of flying is sometimes claustrophobia in disguise. About 1/3 of all fear of flying sufferers are either afraid of being "closed in" on the plane or being unable to escape. A feeling of lack of control also often accompanies this fear. The folks who fear lack of control might also be afraid to let someone else drive a car they are riding in. Different fear of flying sufferers might have fear at different times during the flight. Some feel fear on take-off, others during turbulence and others still during landing or even after the plane has landed and everyone stands up in the aisles. Though xanax and paxil are often prescribed for fear of flying, withdrawal symptoms can be severe. Consult with your medical professional carefully before considering taking either of these drugs. A problem with drugs is that they do not cure flying phobia. They merely suppress the symptoms through chemical interaction. To overcome the fear of flying in an airplane permanently and completely you need to use other techniques.
