Deal with your fear of flying
Freedom to Fly Programme
Contrary to popular belief, a fear of flying is not simply fear of airplanes. Research shows that flying anxieties fall into two main groups. For some individuals, it’s the fear of loss of external control. The person worries about something terrible happening to the plane, and that there’s nothing they can do about it. These fears include turbulence, heights, terrorism and many others. The second group are afraid of a loss of internal control, dreading the possibility of having a panic attack, losing control, or experiencing a bodily catastrophe like a heart attack or fainting. These individuals may also fear being trapped in the aircraft. It is not uncommon for people to have fears from both groups.
The Freedom To Fly programme is designed to help you manage your anxiety and experience the freedom of air travel.

Courses
Explorer
The Explorer is a two-part course. The first part involves the understanding of the nature of the problem, and the designing of an individualised treatment programme. The second part takes place a week after the initial session and includes a scheduled day-return flight to continental Europe accompanied by Elaine.
Navigator
The Navigator is a single session, based on the first session of the two-part course, without the flight, and is for those who have already booked their own flight.
