Greenberg On Fear Of Flying
Peter Greenberg is a well-known travel expert. He says he flies more than 400,000 miles a year, and is on an airplane about 280 days a year. People keep telling him he is tempting fate. He doesn't see it that way at all. He figures if a passenger were to board a random flight once a day, statistically it would take 21,000 years to expect to be killed in a plane crash.
I would add that it helps to look at all those teams you see playing football, basketball, baseball . . . whatever. They fly everywhere they go. If these multi-million-dollar players were not awfully safe on a plane, management would not be putting them there. Though these teams fly around for their games, they just keep doing that and getting there fine.
All our SOAR clients, though they might still have some residual fear, continue to fly safely, all 7,000 or so of them.
Is there anything to worry about when flying? Under certain circumstances, Deep Vein Thrombosis. Peter writes about that at the end of his article. If a person sits immobile for an extended period of time in a passenger seat, they could develop a clot in the legs. If so, pain develops. This needs to be brought to the attention of a doctor so that measures can be taken to dissolve the clot and make sure it doesn't dislodge and travel into the heart or lungs.
But anyone who gets up and moves around a bit, or does exercises while seated, avoids DVT risk. In an important way, SOAR protects fliers from DVT. The people most at risk for DVT are those who, due to fear of flying, medicate themselves. The World Health Organization recommends people avoid sedation when flying due to increased risk of DVT. SOAR makes use of anti-anxiety medication unnecessary. You can read the WHO report at this link.

Emails Like This Make It All Worthwhile
So far I feel that I am almost a winner in the battlefield of fighting against the fear of flying, of course with your great great help. Now when I need to go somewhere by plane, I just directly book the ticket online, and afterwards forget about the flying thing (before I keep on nervous since the moment I book my ticket), and during the flight I can always concentrate on my favorite novel, or fall asleep like a baby. Nothing really bothers me anymore. I could never imagine this relaxation would happen to me half a year ago...so, Tom, thank you thank you and thank
you:-) .
