Anyone cured a fear of flying?

[kittenlittle]

I hate it, usually take Valium, but it hasn't worked he last couple of times. I'd love to be cured, I tried hypnosis, but it wasn't entirely succesful (I kept thinking the hypnotist was gonna touch me when I had my eyes closed!) What else is there? I've got a trip to New York coming up!

I suggest you do what i did and basicly try a state opf deep and repeated hypnosis, to change your attitude towards flying. I always was worried about terrorists or about it crashing and oxygen masks coming down and not getting them on fast enough etc.

alternatively you can put it into persepective and realise that it is the safest form of travel and you are flying in a multi-million pound peice of kit not a crappy nissan micra !!!!!!!!! It's a doddle and to be enjoyed!!!

if you crash you die so its daft worrying really

Why not try not-flying ? I have got through my life so far without flying at all, why is it so imperative that you have to fly ?

I hate flying simply because it is so boring!!!
the only interesting bits is taking off and landing and watching the wings bend to the point that they look like they are about to break off!!

It is true what dot said about it being the safest form of travel.
First time I flew, I was terrified but never give it a thought now.
My Hubby hates flying, gets the white knuckle syndrome, so I end up trying to help him.
Takes my mind off it anyway.
Read a book or do as I do, listen in to other peoples conversations. It is great fun!
Good luck with your flight.

Yes, Kitten..........
Tell Whiffey what time the ferry go New York leaves, could you ?

[RATTER15]

The time to worry is when you hear the Muslim on the flight starting to count backwards!!
