Q: My boyfriend is a very active sportsman, some of which are really dangerous, but he is afraid of flying?! He avoids air travel and it is affecting our relationship. What do you suggest? A: This is very typical, so I can believe it. Fear of flying affects people regardless of their gender, age, background, education, previous travel experience, socio- economic status or even extreme sport activities. His fear is real and you have to understand and support him. He would like to fly but he'll do everything he can to avoid it. Typically, he does not believe that something can help this situation.In most cases of fear of flying it will be the surrounding friends or family members who will search for solutions rather than the person himself. the fearfull flyer needs to understand that there is a way to overcome this fear of flying. Tell him that you came across this web site offering courses, and that so many others like him have taken the seminar,and now fly with confidence. Assure him that there is no real reason why it wouldn't help him, too. |
