Sydney’s man, Jason Rowe, suddenly terrified of flying after spike in aerial disasters abroad like Washington DC, South Korea Korea

Recently, however, he has not found that firing 30,000 feet in the sky is a pleasant experience.

“It’s not something I used to think twice, but after seeing those headlines, I began to question every small sound and movement in the air,” Rowe told 9News.com.au.

“Usually, I don’t analyze the details too much, but I was surprised by investigating the airline’s security history and even looking for specific aircraft models.

“When I finally got on the plane, I felt restless during the turbulence in a way that I had not done before.”

Dr. Sara Quinn, executive director of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), said that nerve flyers may be feeling their anxiety in the air recently amplifying.

“The frequency and trial of those accidents (airplanes), play a role in people who realize that there is something they want to go and talk to a psychologist,” said Dr. Quinn at 9News.com.au.

“The more likely we are surrounded by it, the more likely it becomes part of our normal way of seeing the world around us.

“That is a critical factor in the response to listen to trauma.”

Dr. Quinn said that the feeling of impotence contributes to a greater fear of flying.

Humans often do not know how to deal with a loss of control, which can cause panic and a “chain reaction” of fear answers, he explained.

But there are many ways in which anxious flyers can keep their fear at bay.

“Physical symptoms, sweating, when your heart rate passes through the roof, and you have that overwhelming feeling of anxiety, which can be incredibly distressing for someone,” said Dr. Quinn.

“Learning to manage your own breathing to reduce that level of anguish is really important.

“Many of the ways we do through full care strategies, relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and square breathing, also progressive muscle relaxation.”

Rowe said he achieved his own fear in a similar way.

He was forced to stay distracted from monitoring everything that could be catastrophically bad on a flight.

“When I am on a flight, especially during takeoff and landing, I concentrate on staying busy. I will listen to music, I will see something or even concentrate on breathing slowly,” he said.

“A pilot partner told me that sounds and sensations during takeoff are just the plane that is designed to do, so I remember that when I feel restless.

“I always bring gum for takeoff, and somehow, that little habit makes things feel more normal.

“It’s not about ignoring fear, but preventing my mind from being spiral.”

Dr. Quinn also recommends educating himself about the probability of an air disaster.

“Educating about the sure is flying compared to other modes of transport is a really pleasant and healthy way to address that negative automatic thinking,” he added.

“How are those statistics really?”

And the chances of a plane crash being even more unlikely, of one in 11 million.

Rowe said his companion pilot also perforated those statistics with him.

“He reminded me that even with recent tragedies, the statistical security of air trips has not changed,” he added.

“It’s a mental battle, but I’m working on it, and I know I’m not alone.

“If you feel in the same way, I understand it.”

Some Australian airlines have protocols to help travelers who distress while flying.

Virgin Australia directs his ‘Nervous Flyers’ program, which was developed for anyone who experienced an “overwhelming nervousness” on a flight.

“The guests will receive a useful email a week before departure with travel tips on the best way to manage the nerves in flight, as well as a text message on travel day to help prepare them for their flight,” a spokesman told 9News.com.au.

“Once on board, our cabin team will be aware of providing additional care, and guests will also have access to guided meditation specifically designed for nerve flyers, available in our entertainment by flight.

“We also provide tips for nerve flyers on our website, including techniques to manage nerves, flight well -being and turbulence and flight connection.”
