Does Anyone know anything about fixing my dad’s airplane phobia?
I fly all the time but my dad is completely frightened of airplanes, he thinks they are going to crash no matter what, when in truth they barely ever crash. If anyone knows anything, like sleep pills, or medication that relaxes you, He has never felt that medication or pills work on him, for he is big(6’3" 200 lbs) and he says that sleeping pills don’t usually work, but it is really important that he learns to deal with this, and soon, and please no one say hipnosis or getting drunk.
Most of the major airlines run fear of flying courses, they’re really effective and the effects are permanent, unlike medication which only helps in the short term
Put him in flight simulation classes. Then he will know how the plane works, and will know how safe it is.
