Fly Away Fear: Overcoming Your Fear of Flying (The Self-Help Series)

Fly Away Fear is an accessible and empathetic guide to overcoming your fear of flying.

Written by two experienced clinical psychologists who have helped people to overcome their fear of flying for more than forty years―one of whom is also a professional pilot―Fly Away Fear explores the source of air travel anxiety and explains how you can overcome it. The skills are based on the principles of new developments of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) aimed at people who have not succeeded with traditional CBT. This book covers key topics, including flight safety and what happens on board, and shares exercises and strategies based on the authors’ years of professional experience. This new edition has been fully updated and includes the experiences of real people throughout.

Fly Away Fear is the ideal book for anyone with air travel anxiety or who has experienced fear of flying.
