Our approach and beliefs |

|
Anyone who has a fear of flying and seeks help to overcome it has the right to know the qualifications and attitudes of the people offering help. Successes should not just be claimed but be evident from personal testimony. At flyingwithoutfear we do not claim to offer more than we can be sure of. We can not hand you a cure. The guidance we give is from a team of people involved in the industry and who have wide experience of nervous passengers and their needs. Our motivation is to help rather than to be commercially successful. We do not believe that an enthusiasm for flying is sufficient reason to offer help. Many pilot driven sites and products work on the basis that a friendly, dumbed down technical explanation and a "look how easy it is to fly a plane" approach will persuade people to overcome their fears. While this may be an aspect of confidence building it is more likely to be a short term fix rather than lasting strategy. Unfortunately many of these 'styles' approach the problem from the outside and require the nervous flyer to fit into it….rather than the other way around. A fear of flying is a complex problem and though many of the attitudes, feelings and emotions are fairly common the blend is personal. Overcoming a fear of flying can not be achieved quickly. It's possible, of course to deal with many of the symptoms and emotions very quickly, but if the fear is more than superficial, a more lasting strategy is required. Personal support is vital and whilst we willingly give support, the most effective is to have contact with people with similar feelings. This is why we recommend everyone to join the Fear of Flying Community on this website. Guidance, empathy and encouragement is most powerful when it comes from people with a fear of flying …and who have found the remedies that work. It wouldn't be unreasonable for you to ask that if we feel so strongly about individuality why do we have products that are available to everyone…are we actually saying "Try this…one size fits all" ? What we believe is that we shouldn't claim that these things will work for you in isolation. Our products will give you the knowledge, foundation and insight that willhelp you reach your own conclusions about how you can uovercome your fear of flying Our knowledge encouragement and expertese, coupled with your willingness are the keys to success. Overcoming a fear is something that has to be learnt and from our experience of modern aviation training methods we know adults learn most effectively by through better understanding and relating things to other life experiences by thought, analysis and contemplation. Therefore the products and information on this site are for you to use in the way that suits you. We believe that they provide the knowledge and information that is vital in overcoming your fear of flying. |
