Hi,
Thank you for your question. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP),
an evidence-based
practice that utilizes exposure hierarchies to address the compulsive
behaviors used to neutralize anxiety that accompanies the obsessive
thoughts, has been shown to be highly effective in treating phobias. I
highly recommend you seek out some support from a mental health
professional to guide you through the process.
I hope this has been helpful!

Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear that you experience discomfort when flying or at the thought of flying. I applaud you for your determination to seek treatment. Phobias and fear are typically trauma-related. I suggest seeking counseling to develop coping skills to overcome your fear and discover what might be at the root of the cause.
