Im sorry the flight was so bad.
You would also find me praying the rosary 😁
Therapy would be useful to get to the bottom of the fears.
Maybe hypnotherapy.
Sometimes facing our fears, as you did and reminding our brains, we did it, we got through it, no harm came to us. Validating your feelings 💕💜
I hope you genuinely get through it 🥰
@tia2utoo
do you know the root cause of either of these fears....
For flying it can be the unknown / fear of disaster /lack of control. Doctors can be bad experience or fear of finding out you have something serious etc.
Once we identify reasons we can address them.
Yes..fear of crashing and fear of finding out from.doctors..it's developed over a period of years and after menopause it increased..I have to get rid of these habits..I need help here
@tia2utoo
I know you must be told that planes very very few crashes when you think of all the flights happening each day....
that does not matter to a person with anxiety or fear. We only hear the bad not how many hundreds of flight a day happen. this is one you can work on slowly does it get easier after a flight?
Dr are only practicing medicine there is always a second opinion and options. I have hesitancy because i got a bunch of run around until 6th dr I saw for something totally different had the answer.
On the scale of thing to fear i think these 2 are very common... and in sharing that can ease our fears.
