Synopsis

Imagine leaving your fear of flying behind as you travel free from anxiety and fear.

Fear of flying is very real and affects millions of people. You are not alone! 

Whether you suffer minor stress, debilitating anxiety or panic attacks, fear of flying limits your ability to enjoy the safest way to travel on the planet. 

Designed to be used before and during flights, How to Overcome Fear of Flying will help you transform your overall flying experience. 

Getting over fear of flying is possible, and here’s a preview of what Capt Ron, a fear of flying expert, will teach you: 

• How you became afraid to fly. 
• What you can do to strategically prepare for your flight.
• How to stop the thoughts that create your anxiety and panic—even when those thoughts occur if you just think about flying. 
• How to manage your emotions before and during your flight. 
• How the unfamiliar sights, sounds and sensations during a flight are completely normal but can easily trigger anxiety, claustrophobia, and a disproportionate and excessive stress response in your mind and your body.
• What the pilots are actually doing and thinking throughout the various phases of flight.

A veteran pilot with an M.A. in Professional Counseling, Capt Ron will demystify your questions about airplanes and flying. He will share the same proven techniques he has taught thousands of fearful flyers around the world who now soar free from their fear of flying.

No matter whether your issue is

• Takeoff
  
• Turbulence,
  
• Claustrophobia, or
  
• Flying over Water
  

Capt Ron explains air travel in layman’s terms. He teaches you tools and techniques for feeling confident and in control from takeoff to landing. 

As you work through How to Overcome Fear of Flying, you will learn to recognize, regulate and replace your anxiety-promoting mental dialogue with mindfulness and confidence. Not only will these skills help you overcome your fear of flying, but they also have the power to transform other areas of anxiety you may experience.
