272. How I overcame my fear of flying

psychologyofyour20s

Today's episode is a rather personal, less psychological one. I want to talk about my fear of flying but also how I have managed to bring that fear back into my control and the huge list of tips I've put together along the way. In this episode we discuss:

  • Where the fear of flying emerges from
  • How a fear of the unknown or a lack of control contributes 
  • The psychology of claustraphobia 
  • How the pandemic made things worse for people 
  • How I stopped avoiding flying + my biggest lessons
  • My biggest tips for long haul flights

If you struggle getting on planes and feel like it's holding you back from adventure or travel, this episode is for you!
