The Fear of Flying¶

Phobic Properties¶

The fear of flying may be a phobia in itself or a combination of other phobias such as claustrophobia, acrophobia, or agoraphobia. The fear of flying does not only cause fear when flying, the anticipation of flying may cause distress and anxiety over a month before traveling.

Connection to Virtual Reality¶

VR exposure is as effective as in vivo exposure both immediately following treatment and at follow-up.
