    Airplane is the safest way to travel. I think the thing that scares people really is not being in control and if something goes wrong you are completely helpless to do anything about it because you are sitting in a chair in the sky, lol

      edibles help, make sure they have more CBD than THC. I still hate the fucking falling sensation out of nowhere but I focus on the way plane shakes and determine the threshold that it doesn't go over and then it makes me able to relax more.

    As a Christian, I put the sign of the cross on the right side on the door before I enter the plan!
    I also imagine angels surrounding the entire plane carrying us and ask the Lord to blow all bad weather and turbulence away from our flights and of course pray and I have amazing peace!
    That’s what really works for my flight anxiety!

    Didn't have those attacks at a young age but after a while it started suddenly , can't explain it...
    On planes I tried different methods , a cocktail of " logic + some anger + indifference to my emotions worked well , i regained control & got out of the panic mode... But I wasn't happy with it..
    My favorite was spiritual calm obtained by having some trust in the plane and the people in charge & accepting any thing that could happen to me without fear ( not afraid of death , pain..) Just enjoy the moment & forget anything else...

      Im not getting over it yet, but this Covid lockdown and fear of a disease makes me think that in the end we shouldnt be afraid of living our lives. This includes traveling and going to places in the same day you leave town, maybe conquering fear of death and pain is the answer of controling anxiety and your own life. In the end we all have to go.

    Step 1: reframing. Fear is actually excitement.
    Step 2: paradoxical approach. I read about a person who got over their fear of falling in public by falling on purpose in the mall.
    Step 3: not sure of the name but it's from NLP. Think of changing the voices in your head to something silly like Donald Duck and adding some circus music like the Benny Hill Theme.

    Hi there! When I was watching your video before my last flight, smart-ass-me thought "Ok, what kind of BS is that?!" - and guess what happened: I was SO chilled during the flight! I even could have dinner at the airport and SLEPT on the plane for the first time in years. Flying is always a big challenge for me. Though I can always calm down after take-off the time before boarding and during take-off can be hard for me. My stomach is normally so upset, that I can never eat or drink before flying and usually I am quite on edge the entire day before the flight. I never thought that your "weird trick" could help me but it tricked me into enjoying the flight. THANK YOU!!!!!

    Any type of anxiety is the same - It's not dangerous, it won't hurt you, and the more you realise that, you can accept it and roll with the anxiety. Do not resist it, I PROMISE you it won't EVER hurt you. It can't. It sounds like backwards logic but demand more anxiety, genuinely. Suddenly,n you've taken fear out of the equation, which is the fuel for anxiety.
    I suffered anxiety and panic attacks on planes and a wide range of different scenarios. I no longer have an anxiety disorder because of this method.

      This is exactly me. Not scared to crash, nor scared of turbulence. It’s the being trapped in a small space, no way out, being up high and feeling like I’m going to react crazily like a lunatic and demand that they land the place. Which then heightens the panic attack.

    this is similar to the DARE technique.. You disarm anxiety by asking for more (ie not trying to avoid it). Seems counterintuitive but it works. It's worked for my driving anxiety. Still not flying though because it's a little harder to practice flying than it is driving :(

I am a little late getting started with flying. When I was a young woman I did not have those fears. They came on over time. I have lost my mind and control in elevators that malfunctioned.

I was feeling like maybe it was a bad omen but, it went better than expected. I was a bit scared at first, but after some time, I began to enjoy actually looking down. I did get a sudden feeling of doom just after take off, but I guess that is normal. I was amazed at the speed at which a plane goes down the runway and then just lifts off. It was quite an experience for me. So, as it turns out, I enjoy flying. Also, on our way home, something happened with the plane during layover and we ended up in Denver for 6 hours before we got another plane. I actually flew back to AZ again this past summer.

My fear is of panic attacks in an enclosed place. Actually walking towards the anxiety and wallowing it neutralised it for me.

    I know this video is a bit old by now, but I still wanted to contribute with my story and experience today. So when I was a teenager, I all of the sudden developed crazy anxiety when flying. This later became a more generalized anxiety regarding driving, my everyday health and even death. I actually became very sick and inhibited. But it got a lot better, especially the past 2 years. I am now a doctor on a psyciatric ward and I deal with other people’s anxiety everyday for a living. Unfortunately, I still had quite bad anxiety about flying, it sort of never left my system. A week ago I found this video, just in time before our ski trip with our 6 month old son. I was soooo nervous, I have read, meditated and watched a ton of videos (btw, a lot of them miss the point bc they cater to your logic and rational parts of the brain by explaining how a plane works and how safe it is).. But anyway.. This!!!! It worked. I had a beautiful flight with my son and husband, just a short one, but it was a huge win for me. The world seems open now. Nothing can stop me. Thank you!

I was encouraged when I first saw video as these techniques were new to me and I’ve had a fear for about 18 years. Other techniques are all for trying to be calm and distracting yourself, immersing yourself in the flying experience seems so obvious now!

    I am flying to New Zealand tomorrow from the UK, that's a 14 hour flight then a 10 hour flight and I'm doing it on my own. This is so far out of my comfort zone I can't begin to tell you! I didn't even used to leave my home town on a train alone. This video is one of the most helpful I've found. Will add how I get on using these techniques after my flights.

      Absolutely bloody amazing! It worked. Before I’ve had an awful time on a small one hour flight. This time a total of 24 hours flying EACH way. No fear...at all. I loved it. I’m astonished I did this alone too, even with an 8 hour stopover and fairy bad turbulence at times. As soon as the pandemic allows I’ll plan my next trip. Thank you so so much, it’s genuinely life changing X

    Thank you, Liv for all your tips! And it´s true when I fly by plane feels so uncomfortable when the plane departed or have a turbulence, or to land a plane. And certainly, I will apply all those tips. It's interesting that the technique you use is facing the sensation of fear to transform into a sensation of pleasure, from anxiety to excitement! Maybe the symptoms are the same but not the interpretation of them, wow this is revolutionary, and that interpretation of symptom like a fast heartbeat became in excitement sensation and later with the time that symptom disappears because there's no more interpretation of fear. It's funny & beautiful your way of thinking like imagine is a comedy show your inner voice, I never heard that before, but I love it!! Well, Liv I´ll apply all those tips the next time I´ll fly, I promise. Thank you so much for that! And I hope one day I may fly to Costa Rica to meet you Liv in person, would be a dream come true for me!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!
    This has completely worked for me and I have just enjoyed a flight as much as I first did as a child!
    For me it was changing the perception of that fight or "flight" response. Resisting or distracting yourself from the fear/anxiety can actually make that perceived anxiety much worse, especially if the turbulence escalates or you're flying on an unfamiliar sounding aircraft.
    Simply identify what you "thought" was rational or logical anxiety and re-label it as excitement, and then really lean into it!
    This also actually helped with pre-flight concerns many hours before boarding. I now welcome the take off and turbulence. I love landing with a smile and dry palms now :)
    If you need a little more logical / physical help... try considering air as a liquid that reacts to its surroundings (a bit like the ocean or a river) - that was a top tip that came directly from a commercial pilot which has also helped.

    I thought she'd say something like take off your shoes and smell them and that would have been weird. How are these weird tricks? They're just normal ideas and everyone at some point or another has tried them. I will tell you a trick that really works: sit on the isle and keep your eyes fixed on the crew when you feel there's a danger but you find them not even noticing it even though they are bouncing moderately with turbulence that shou soothe you just follow there lead. Trust me it helps

I started watching a lot of bad weather take off and landing videos and saw that the pilots take them as piece of cake. I watched horrific turbulence videos and saw that it's just a routine for the pilots and it's part of the journey. This gave me the courage to travel wearing a diaper though because on a 1 hour flight i have to pee like 5 times so diaper keeps me relaxed even though i never had to use it. Xanax also helps me with make believe. But last flight i had with a dear friend i actually felt bored which means I was perfectly ok. But all these flights were only 1 hour flights now I will be taking a 3 hour flight in hope i will be ok. I strongly recommend going with a companion it definitely makes a difference.

      I know this is from a year ago but the red eyes always the best! I hate being on a crowded plane makes my anxiety worse. Flying at night is peaceful and it's easy to fall asleep.
      In fact the best flight I ever had was a red eye out of Anchorage to Seattle. There were only about five of us on the plane. it was peaceful and quiet and the full moon was shining on the Wasatch Mountain range. It was spectacularly beautiful--a site I never would have seen from that perspective had I not been on that plane. It was the least anxious plane trip I've ever had. if you have a long flight in your afraid of flying I highly suggest a red eye. Usually far less crowded, it's quiet and peaceful, and you can take a sleeping pill and sleep through it.

    FEAR - False Evidence Appearing Real
    I recommend also to look at Pilot Mentour and Captain Joe channel. They are pilots who will explain to you in detail why you really schould scare from flying.
    Anyway Airbus is one of the most sofisticate modern aircraft so if something go wrong they have plan B, C and so on. The thing is we don't have control over the situation.
    Also look up Carlos interview how he land the plane without 2 engine's in severe turbulence and storm. It will give an idea that even in the worst case scenario things could end up differently.
    Anyway tnx for the video and great technique btw.
