Following is a news summary about coping with worries about taking a flight. A fatal collision between an American Airlines jet and a helicopter over Washington, D.C., killing 67, has made people more hesitant to book flights. It's spiked concern among many people, but some people would have to seek professional help for their deep anxiety associated with aerophobia. Those affected got more rattled during take-off and landing and could not breathe when they experienced being trapped in an enclosed cabin and not having control. Deep breathing often works best for people with milder levels of aerophobia. As for those suffering from more severe cases, psychologists often use exposure therapy to help patients live with and better manage their fears. Remember, it's ok to ask for help. Holding hands during a flight is not a sign of weakness but a gesture of support and courage.
