With recent airline disasters, there has been a resurgence in the number of fearful flyers. People who were marginally comfortable with the idea of going up in an aircraft are finding themselves reluctant to do so since the recent air disasters. Frequent flyers, and others, may have become infected with this anxiety disorder at great cost to career and personal freedom.

This program will help you regain control of your life and give you the freedom to travel with confidence. The PsychWorks’ “Fly without Fear” program is a newly implemented training workshop for those who are fearful flyers. It is intended for those who become anxious or those who are phobic when faced with the possibility of flying. It employees techniques which redirect focused energy away from the illogical and irrational thinking process that defines the anxious state. The program features ten sessions, including desensitization techniques, counseling, psycho-education, and experiential therapy. The psycho-educational component consists of a series of exercises to reduce the impact of the physiological changes associated with the event. Upon completion of the psycho-educational component, participants will have the opportunity to practice the various tools learned to reduce the anxiety.

In order to acquire an objective understanding of flying, familiarization of aviation procedures is presented. This is followed by a guided tour of an aircraft, culminating in an actual flight.

This program is offered to corporations as well as individuals. Corporations whose employees are required to travel by air may chose to avail themselves of this opportunity. The program may be implemented at the worksite, in a group or off-site depending on the needs of the organization. This program can be customized to meet the special needs of the individual flyers. An assessment of those needs can be provided at your company’s request by calling PsychWorks, Inc.® at (954) 344-2022. The development and implementation of the “Fly Without Fear” project is credited to a licensed psychotherapist, certified in hypnotherapy, and a licensed pilot.
