Fear of flying, or aerophobia, is an irrational fear that can lead to debilitating symptoms and avoidance of air travel. Psychologist Dr. Mark Rackley explains how this phobia develops through distorted thinking and associations between flying and danger. Individuals experiencing this fear often undergo intense anxiety before and during flights. Effective strategies for overcoming this fear include cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, and relaxation techniques, which aim to reshape perceptions and reduce panic responses associated with flying.
Phobias can be deeply debilitating, with fear of flying causing overwhelming anxiety and avoidance behaviors, significantly impacting travel and daily life.
Dr. Mark Rackley explains that a fear of flying is an irrational fear, causing individuals to generalize all flights as dangerous, fostering anxiety.
