Face your fear. If it's flying, then with it!

Even the sight of an airplane can be sweaty for those who are afraid of flying. This phobia also has a name: aviophobia. Let's be honest: flying is not human. The human body is not designed for flight either. In other words, accommodation in the air can only be realized if we use a device for it. This is where the problem begins. We are afraid of the unknown, but often also of what we have already heard bad things about. Traveling by plane can be just like that. Anyone who is afraid to get on an iron bird is mostly because he remembers the news he told about a crashed plane. In short, it may well be that someone has not experienced any tragedy, but still thinks that it could happen to him. Then, of course, flying can cause fear even if someone has already experienced serious turbulence during their journey and experienced it in such a way that they just survived. And not to mention someone who actually survived a plane crash.

However, traveling by plane is not only one of the safest forms of transport, but also fast. It is precisely for this reason that it is recommended to travel this way. Well, if you're also fighting your fear, then it's time to overcome it.

First of all, if you've never flown before and you don't even know what you're afraid of, you should do some research to understand flying. Find out what safety measures airlines use in the event of an emergency. Watch videos about flying.

Look for options that help you overcome stress and fear. Whatever the cause of fear may be, by eliminating it, getting on a plane can provide a completely different experience than being imbued with fear.

It can be a really good individual and home therapy if you write out your fear. Don't just say it, write it down. Write down what you feel when you think about flying. Bravely and honestly. This will allow you to identify what you are really afraid of.

If consciousness calms you down, then before traveling, make sure that you have a sedative with you, which you can take on such occasions in consultation with your doctor.

As a last resort, if panic really takes hold of you, see an expert who will help calm your fear.

A really good coping strategy is to face our fears. If flying is your thing, get yourself on a plane. And after a successful trip, try to travel in this way again to train yourself. How did you survive? Is there anything wrong?
