Fear of flying on airplanes is irrational. And often, not even directly connected with the fear of aircraft, but with other life experiences.
Many people are afraid to fly, but a high percentage of those who simply fear goes into a real panic attack: increased heart rate, adrenaline rush, nausea, panic. After the flight, complete devastation.
What if you have it or your loved ones?
In fact, the question is serious.
Honestly, all these: breathe quietly, do not think about the bad, listen to mantras ... They do not help. Right, right?
There are several effective options:
-medical. Go to a psychologist or psychiatrist. Those who have the right to prescribe prescription drugs. Do not be afraid, take a paid reception and will not be registered at the dispensary. Describe your condition. Ask for tablets of rapid antidepressant and anti-anxiety, without severe drowsiness.
My friend had such. Drink, for half an hour before planting. On the plane, you already go in smiling. Look at the takeoff in the window and happy for the next 5 hours. If you fly longer, you can repeat the dose, but usually enough.
This method has a huge plus, having drunk so six times, the girlfriend decided on the seventh short flight not to swallow the pill. And, oh, a miracle! Her brain is already used, that she is not afraid. And now she is not afraid. In the purse is one pill, which also gives confidence.
Human psychology is a funny thing.
The next way is to go to a psychologist and look for a problem. What are you afraid of actually when you get on the plane. Here, cognitive-behavioral therapy and modern methods of hypnosis help.
I read many reviews about, perhaps, the most famous Russian program "Let's fly without fear." I did not use it myself, I do not know graduates. So, I do not recommend, but I inform you. There are full-time and on-line courses. In addition, they have and applications on the phone for aerophobes. The programs will tell in real time, why suddenly the plane shakes, why suddenly the wings creaked and what for the noise in the tail ... As if a pilot was flying beside you in an armchair. Prikolno and removes a lot of questions.
And a couple of tips that will help, if you fly already "tomorrow."
The more you fly, the less afraid. Those. if there are 4 transplants on the long route per day, on the fourth one there will be less fear. So let's fly more often.
Take off, listen to music. But, not the one that you listen to now (a fashionable compilation) or a specially recorded slow relaxing one. Make yourself a special collection. It should be songs that evoke very vivid memories. First love, beautiful summer. Songs that take you far away and that cause very strong emotions. Emotions supersede fear !. Do not be lazy to record an hour and a half of such music.
Have a good flight!
