Willing to Fly

A therapist-designed workbook to help anxious travelers take their next flight — even when fear shows up.

This workbook is for you if...

You know flying is statistically safe, but your body and brain still panic
You dread the buildup — the airport, the waiting, the “what if” spiral
You’re tired of trying to force calm or distract your way through it
You want something more practical than “just breathe” or “think positive”
You’re willing to try a different approach – one that doesn’t rely on eliminating fear first
You’ve tried thinking your way out of anxiety with no luck
You’ve avoided vacations or missed opportunities because of fear
You’re TIRED of letting fear dictate your life and shrink your experiences
You’re not looking for a “miracle” cure-all, but are ready to confront this in a clinically grounded way
You’re ready to stop waiting to feel fearless, and start living your life with fear in the room

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based principles to help you shift your relationship with fear
Education about how anxiety works and behaviors that you may have been engaging in that reinforce anxiety
Exercises to identify your specific “what if” thoughts and develop willingness to let them show up without needing to control or avoid them
Mindfulness-based strategies for dealing with anxiety and panic in ways that are less resistant
Things you can do to prepare for that next flight along with a flight day prep sheet aligned with values, not fear
A breakdown of normal flight sounds and sensations – especially helpful for newer fliers
Evidence-based safety stats for that part of your brain that still wants hard numbers
In-the-moment coping supports
Not a promise to eliminate fear right away – but guidance on how to confront and ultimately conquer this thing through valued-actions
