Comments on: Dealing With Anxiety About Turbulence http://www.panicaway.com/fear-of-flying/newsletter-4 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 21:12:05 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tony Kwan http://www.panicaway.com/fear-of-flying/newsletter-4/comment-page-1#comment-4377 Tony Kwan Sat, 04 Dec 2010 01:59:28 +0000 http://www.panicaway.com/?p=2583#comment-4377 During the past 20 years, my job and personal businesses required me to travel frequently to many countries. I am a frequent flyer and had flown more than a million miles. I have encountered mildly turbulences to very severe once. I understand that modern planes are designed to handle adverse flying conditions. Air turbulences are just like road "bumps" and sea 'waves' which causes the carrier to move "up and down" momentarily. For your further information, I just recovered from a 4 months of Anxiety Disorder and during the 4 months, I realised that my fear of flying was unwarranted. Ultimately, all planes will land safely. I have no doubts about it. Happy flying and enjoy the flights. During the past 20 years, my job and personal businesses required me to travel frequently to many countries.

How does wind shear differ from turbulence and is it dangerous? Thanks for your insight and support.

I am 70 years old and I have played sport at the highest level in South Africa and still cycle competitively here and abroad. Whilst I am physically OK, I have suffered from clausterphobia since I was 5 years old and irrespective of this, I have been flying all over the world and despite flooding my anxiety, I have suferred all along. I found that listening to your explanation on how to rid oneself on a fear of flying applies almost directly to dealing with my clausterphobia. Once I plant a negative thought it grows as I keep feeding it and when it gets stronger it controls me.Thank you so much - it may sound srange but during the past week, I have benefitted more than I can ever explain to you. Would have loved to have been able to talk to you about this - brilliant. Take care. Sarel.
