Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Fear of flying: You can see your doc for medication if you wish. Otherwise, use the Relaxation Response. www.relaxationresponse.org It is a simple mind-body approach to anxiety. Peace and good health. Fear of flying is about not letting go of control to the pilot and crew.
