So i went to Bham airport today to take part in this course, amongst many others (which I originally psychologically thought were actors from videos). Instead these were real people like me, with real fears. I must be honest and say that after convincing from other passengers and the brilliant staff, I managed to enter the plane and take a seat. Unfortunately, my fears took over too much and I had to leave. This is not to slate the course, but instead an admission that I was simply rushing myself onto the course, and not spending enough time rewatching the videos and practicing the techniques enough. The course did help me though with the airport and I was fine up until walking to the plane and seeing the other planes roar as they took off. I know now that my fear is associated mainly with the speed, as every other aspect was explained, such as the door, flight training, maintenance, trust in the crew, if you feel out of control etc. I am proud that I made it through the airport process and at least sat down for a short while before leaving. I also felt terrible thinking that other fearless flyers might see my anxious reactions if I stayed and as a consequence, ruin their progress. Anyway, I can see how this course changes lives and I spoke to one passenger (James) who explained he flew before and he really was a saint and tried to help, but it just was not the right time for me today. My take away from today is this, if you are really serious about getting over your fear FOR YOU, then please try. If you are under pressure from work etc. spend more time researching before going.
