In the 21st century, it is almost impossible to do without air travel. Every day there are thousands of flights from different parts of the world, but still there are people who are simply panicky afraid to fly and try to avoid it. So how do you deal with aerophobia ?!
To begin with, an airplane is the safest form of transport in the world, which allows you to be anywhere in the world in a fairly short period of time. But there are people who are terrified of flying on an airplane and in every possible way avoid it. According to statistics, women suffer most from aerophobia, but this disease is also quite often manifested in men.
How to get rid of aerophobia once and for all?
First of all, you need to understand the cause of fear. Most likely, it is caused by your ideas about plane crashes. You think that right now, at this very moment, the very thing that scares you most of all will happen! Your brain begins to build different ideas about how the plane will fall and in general why it will happen. It is very difficult for your body to get rid of this fear, because in most cases, aerophobia is uncontrollable and soon can lead to the development of panic attacks (especially if you very often fly on airplanes).
How to overcome aerophobia?
3 ways that will definitely help you defeat this disease:
1. Medication. If you feel really bad that it comes to fainting and seizures, then use sedatives and antidepressants.
2. Cognitive behavioral therapy. Quite a long work with a psychologist as a result of which every time you immerse yourself in the state and atmosphere of flight. For these therapies, virtual reality simulators and new computer technologies are often used.
3. Hypnosis. Using this method, you can understand not only the cause of the fear of aircraft, but also eliminate it. Through hypnosis, you relax and plunge into a complete state of calm and serenity.

What to do on the plane?
I present to your attention the TOP - 5 options for exercising in the aircraft cabin during the flight. These methods will not only save your nerves, but also pass the time at the peak of fears for an aerophobe!
