Airplane is the safest way to travel. I think the thing that scares people really is not being in control and if something goes wrong you are completely helpless to do anything about it because you are sitting in a chair in the sky, lol
Xineohp37 I’m terrified of flying it came on recently so I no longer fly, I’ve struggled to articulate my fear, your description however explains it exactly.
@@Lesselvessel im scared of driving i hate it pray for me i have to drive tommorow and everyday i just cant get over this fear
@@Lesselvessel if something goes wrong in a car i cant do anything cause i dont know how to drive so thats why i get nervous
Xineohp37 you nailed it on the head. I can’t stand not being in control and I also hate the feelings of dropping like in an elevator...
edibles help, make sure they have more CBD than THC. I still hate the fucking falling sensation out of nowhere but I focus on the way plane shakes and determine the threshold that it doesn't go over and then it makes me able to relax more.
As a Christian, I put the sign of the cross on the right side on the door before I enter the plan!
I also imagine angels surrounding the entire plane carrying us and ask the Lord to blow all bad weather and turbulence away from our flights and of course pray and I have amazing peace!
That’s what really works for my flight anxiety!
🙏🇺🇸🛫
Didn't have those attacks at a young age but after a while it started suddenly , can't explain it...
On planes I tried different methods , a cocktail of " logic + some anger + indifference to my emotions worked well , i regained control & got out of the panic mode... But I wasn't happy with it..
My favorite was spiritual calm obtained by having some trust in the plane and the people in charge & accepting any thing that could happen to me without fear ( not afraid of death , pain..) Just enjoy the moment & forget anything else...
Same
Im not getting over it yet, but this Covid lockdown and fear of a disease makes me think that in the end we shouldnt be afraid of living our lives. This includes traveling and going to places in the same day you leave town, maybe conquering fear of death and pain is the answer of controling anxiety and your own life. In the end we all have to go.
Exactly my experience as well. Heck, I used to enjoy turbulence as a teenager! I often think if I could sit in the cockpit with the pilots I’d feel more control. I drive a big rig semi for work, some I’m used to being in control.
Most fear of flying develops around 27 years old.
I literally just stepped off a plane and saw this. I have some fear of flying and this video helped so much thank you!!!!!! (Edit: on my flight back home. Watching this video before takeoff really helped! Thanks Liv❤️❤️❤️)
I flew for the first time in 37 years last week and I applied this to not be afraid of flying. It really worked. I couldn't believe how well until today when I caught my return flight home and was very comfortable. If I hadn't known I was flying and had closed my eyes, it wouldn't have felt any different than riding a bus.
Video starts at 2:44
No it starts at 0:00
lol thanks
@@hannahgoodchild5255 stfu idiot. it starts at 2:44 because she's mindlessly babbling about nothing til then.
Thanks
Thank you. Why are people so wordy? Get to it already.
Step 1: reframing. Fear is actually excitement.
Step 2: paradoxical approach. I read about a person who got over their fear of falling in public by falling on purpose in the mall.
Step 3: not sure of the name but it's from NLP. Think of changing the voices in your head to something silly like Donald Duck and adding some circus music like the Benny Hill Theme.
Very helpful video. I imagined George Costanza in Sienfeld yelling about all the dangers to Jerry and I felt 80% less stressed.
"The only way out is through..." Powerful!!!÷
This video changed my life. I was so scared to fly because of a myriad of fears: claustrophobia, fear of heights, etc. When I tried this on my most recent flight I had no hope it would work but it worked AMAZINGLY! I went from shaking in my seat to feeling so calm and even bored. I couldn’t believe it. It really really works
Thank you for sharing!
I have a fear of boredom.
"You didn't write your will yet" 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Liv...I'll try this next month when I go back home.
Hi there! When I was watching your video before my last flight, smart-ass-me thought "Ok, what kind of BS is that?!" - and guess what happened: I was SO chilled during the flight! I even could have dinner at the airport and SLEPT on the plane for the first time in years. Flying is always a big challenge for me. Though I can always calm down after take-off the time before boarding and during take-off can be hard for me. My stomach is normally so upset, that I can never eat or drink before flying and usually I am quite on edge the entire day before the flight. I never thought that your "weird trick" could help me but it tricked me into enjoying the flight. THANK YOU!!!!!
I'm right now sitting on airplane
You can't be because your phone has to be on airplane mode
How
Franks Life u can still get wifi
How did it go??
Anyone else watching this even though they're not scared of flying? (before this video) I want to be a airline pilot when I grow up, and this will REALLY help my friends who are scared of flying.Thanks Liv!
The thing that helped me what that I became a pilot and learned just how safe it is. Education and educating oneself about reality is always better than just trying to trick your mind. Fact overcomes fear.
Education helped me, as well. So funny, though, that you just went all out and became a pilot. 🤭
Talk about, all in.
I have actually had such bad Panic Attacks on planes that they did emergency landings! (this was 4 days after 9/11). However; that one experience caused major PTSD. Now I have to Zanex to Fly. Funny thing is I grew up flying for fun with My grandfather, my uncle is a pilot, and my 16 year old is getting his Pilots license. I now just want to learn everything I can about how it works, I think that will be the trick for me.
Takeoff or landing doesnt scare me, its just when you can feel the plane dropping thats all. I hate it sk much
I had the same fears and was petrified of flying because of it. I watched a video explaining what that dropping feeling is and I am no longer afraid, search it on CZcams.
When you say dropping, do you mean turbulence?
@@aogm720401 descending I believe
That’s because you don’t know that takeoffs and landings are the most critical parts of the flight, where a lot can go wrong, and the vast majority of accidents happen. Lol.
Thanks for that 😩
These tips are gold. Thank you so, so much. I find saying "BRING IT ON" to my anxiety puts me back in control. I love this, thank you!
Yes same here!!
I love that!!
Out of everything I’ve watched, this has been the most helpful. Staring the fear in the face and calling it out on its primitive bs. Just wanted to say a huge thank you ❤️ I have a flight next week and I feel fine!
Aww, thank you!! You are so welcome!
this is similar to the DARE technique.. You disarm anxiety by asking for more (ie not trying to avoid it). Seems counterintuitive but it works. It's worked for my driving anxiety. Still not flying though because it's a little harder to practice flying than it is driving :(
My quick fix was to worry about others around me instead of myself.. also reading a book is a form of meditation.. this post is even better
Any type of anxiety is the same - It's not dangerous, it won't hurt you, and the more you realise that, you can accept it and roll with the anxiety. Do not resist it, I PROMISE you it won't EVER hurt you. It can't. It sounds like backwards logic but demand more anxiety, genuinely. Suddenly,n you've taken fear out of the equation, which is the fuel for anxiety.
I suffered anxiety and panic attacks on planes and a wide range of different scenarios. I no longer have an anxiety disorder because of this method.
This is immersion therapy. It is very powerful and I am glad it works for her. My problem is that I have no fear of the plane crashing. I have a need to get off the plane because i have claustrophobia and acrophobia.
Acrophobia here.. it sucks. Driving over bridges is also a pain for me.
Same here.
Try booking a seat toward the front of the plane or fly first class if you're able. And dont fly on small planes, both strategies have helped me in the past!
This is exactly me. Not scared to crash, nor scared of turbulence. It’s the being trapped in a small space, no way out, being up high and feeling like I’m going to react crazily like a lunatic and demand that they land the place. Which then heightens the panic attack.
The only way out is through, I love it!
This just might work!! It’s as nonsensical as FOF is. Thank you 🙏🏼. I will fly tomorrow and put it in to practice
Update: OMG this really helped! I had the best flight experience in decades 🤔 wow
I think that’s the best advice out there ... i did breathing / meditation etc but nothing works.. instead of running away from it you have to embrace it and the fear will melt away .. thank you .. I ll watch this before I get on a plane .
I HATE TURBULENCE one time, there was these giant clouds and we went bouncing. My brother liked it, but I was about to cry. My brother always wants a big cloud. I, obviously, don’t.
Amazing!!!!! Thank you so much. I saw this video about 1 month before my flight but I thought I wait until after my flight before commenting, and I can honestly say I’m cured!!!! I was encouraged when I first saw video as these techniques were new to me and I’ve had a fear for about 18 years. Other techniques are all for trying to be calm and distracting yourself, immersing yourself in the flying experience seems so obvious now! With anxiety FM I was able to laugh at my fear which also worked unbelievably well. But it’s not an easy fix, it does take hard work, I focused on using them everyday for a month. Thankyou!
I don’t have a fear of flying. I have a fear of the plane NOT flying
who else has a flight the next day
wow thank you SO much olivia! i love this step by step format, i followed it with you and it totally helped me with some anxiety (i mean, EXCITEMENT!) that i’ve been feeling about an upcoming long road trip. i have also never flown because of my fear but i do believe this will help me overcome that :-) thank you a million times! 💕
I am flying for the first time next week and I am afraid of heights and closed in spaces. Plus we have to wear masks. My flight is 9 hours. I am turning 60 in few months. I am a little late getting started with flying. When I was a young woman I did not have those fears. They came on over time. I have lost my mind and control in elevators that malfunctioned. It isn't a pretty sight and I hate feeling that way. I know flying is going to be beautiful and I will use your ideas. I think being excited will be a good way to turn that frown upside down! Thanks!
How did it go?
@@jackysieras473 Our plane developed flap problems on the runway. They took us back and we had to get onto another plane. I was feeling like maybe it was a bad omen but, it went better than expected. I was a bit scared at first, but after some time, I began to enjoy actually looking down. I did get a sudden feeling of doom just after take off, but I guess that is normal. I was amazed at the speed at which a plane goes down the runway and then just lifts off. It was quite an experience for me. So, as it turns out, I enjoy flying. Also, on our way home, something happened with the plane during layover and we ended up in Denver for 6 hours before we got another plane. I actually flew back to AZ again this past summer. No incidents this time! Enjoyed the trip and the plane ride. Thanks for asking!
This helped so much! I just got back from Japan, and your visualization techniques were super helpful... thank you!
I’ve been having anxiety over a trip at the end of the month and this surprisingly helped. Thx!
I know this video is a bit old by now, but I still wanted to contribute with my story and experience today. So when I was a teenager, I all of the sudden developed crazy anxiety when flying. This later became a more generalized anxiety regarding driving, my everyday health and even death. I actually became very sick and inhibited. But it got a lot better, especially the past 2 years. I am now a doctor on a psyciatric ward and I deal with other people’s anxiety everyday for a living. Unfortunately, I still had quite bad anxiety about flying, it sort of never left my system. A week ago I found this video, just in time before our ski trip with our 6 month old son. I was soooo nervous, I have read, meditated and watched a ton of videos (btw, a lot of them miss the point bc they cater to your logic and rational parts of the brain by explaining how a plane works and how safe it is).. But anyway.. This!!!! It worked. I had a beautiful flight with my son and husband, just a short one, but it was a huge win for me. The world seems open now. Nothing can stop me. Thank you!
Thank you Liv for these advices. I'll try them in my next flight... I love your videos, they really help me. Kind regards, you are a good example to me
AWESOME! Thank you so much. Diving into the sensation is amazing. I got so nervous even thinking about it, but I can get excited about the same feelings. But bringing it on is awesome to gain control. Feel it l, I love it.
I haven’t been on a plane for years as can’t take the stress- this made me LOL!! Thanks 👍👍
Listening to you and your "anxiety fm" and I'm literally laughing on the bike in the gym, lol
The voice sounds familiar huh? 😉
Well. i just took a return flight from my holiday and I used this simple technique and it worked again. I despair at all these You Tube videos that tell you flying is safe and you have more chance of dying from a car accident - they miss the point completely in my experience. My fear is of panic attacks in an enclosed place. Actually walking towards the anxiety and wallowing it neutralised it for me. Wow.....ive been having awful flights for many years and based on my last 2 flights there was no anxiety after a few minutes during take off. Many thanks
Those random voices were funny!!! 😂😂😂 lol
Anxiety FM! 🤣
Thank you! I just landed back home today :)
Hope the works in going to Hawaii next week, and I hate planes first plane I went on was when I went to Fiji, I was on the plane for 3 hours but this time its 10 hours overnight. So if the works. THANK YOU!
(Edit) THIS WORKED!
So how did your flight go
Good for you man😊
I have severe panic attacks and can't physically breathe. When they landed ambulance came onto plane and took me off. I was so embarrassed 😳. They told me to take medication 💊 next time I got back on. So now I take valium.
A weird thing that makes me be less scared is recording outside the window.
Same here
Thank you, Liv for all your tips! And it´s true when I fly by plane feels so uncomfortable when the plane departed or have a turbulence, or to land a plane. And certainly, I will apply all those tips. It's interesting that the technique you use is facing the sensation of fear to transform into a sensation of pleasure, from anxiety to excitement! Maybe the symptoms are the same but not the interpretation of them, wow this is revolutionary, and that interpretation of symptom like a fast heartbeat became in excitement sensation and later with the time that symptom disappears because there's no more interpretation of fear. It's funny & beautiful your way of thinking like imagine is a comedy show your inner voice, I never heard that before, but I love it!! Well, Liv I´ll apply all those tips the next time I´ll fly, I promise. Thank you so much for that! And I hope one day I may fly to Costa Rica to meet you Liv in person, would be a dream come true for me!
i am going to fly tomorrow for 5 hours and have to come back in few days after. I will use your techniques!! Changing fear to excitement and that already seems like helping me :D thank you
I have watched so many videos on this because I'm 35 and have never flown and am about to next week. Your video helped me more than any of them. Recognizing feelings is key when you feel something and I love the comedy bit. Thank you!
How was your trip julie, does it worked for you?!
Absolutely, I laughed when I got a stupid thought in my head like you were talking about and pretended it was comedy. I knew once I actually got on the plane, I would be fine and it was a great experience. Thanks again for this video
Did you survive ?
Love it thanks! I do not like flying at all but keep doing it. This fear will not dominate me. Time to enjoy life and see the world. F** it!
This video has been really helpful dealing with my fear of flying, thank you so much for these tips!
The only way out is through. Amazing.
I’ve been scared of flying for years. I’ve watched many CZcams vids and tried all sorts of techniques. Nothing worked. I tried this technique and was amazed to have a fear free flight. On boarding I felt terrible. 10 mins later I was fine. When the anxiety returned every hour or so I just reused the technique. Amazing.
Thank you for sharing!
I've been doing this for decades and I am not even afraid of flying. There's no better way to fly! Experience it all, to the third power!
I just learned how to ignore my fear of flight. Yeah I am terrified at first but when I began to see all the passengers they seem to not be bothered by the flight so I just act like what they are doing and pretend that I am busy with my phone.
Thanks lady I'll try it
Btw. for those who are scared there is actually tips how you can help yourself, like sitting near the emergency exit, if your falling spread your legs and arms so your falling like a leaf etc.
Thank you so much this helped me soooo muchhh, have a beautiful day
So well done and original. Love the external voice speaking.
Thank you!! 🙏😀
Thank you I will try for my next flight
Thanks Liv I have to take a flight with my momma in a week from Tampa to Las Vegas to see my grandparents
I have a flight coming up and it's been nothing but anxiety thinking about it. My doctor even prescribed me something but I don't want to count on it. This is the first thing that is giving me hope. Instead of trying to fight it the whole time, we are reframing it. That is actually very calming to me. Thank you so much!!
How was it?
@@Hvmmy7 actually worked. I still had some anxiety but it was manageable. Accepting, instead of fighting was very helpful.
@@jbicondoa Thank you. I took them this morning and they made me feel weird which caused me to feel more anxious but that was probably because I took them on an empty stomach. Im flying early on Thursday and I'm kinda nervous but I guess I will be fine. Thank you.
@@Hvmmy7 that can happen when your brain is fighting the meds.. Maybe try a different kind.. Nice to have backup.
@@jbicondoa Im not sure which ones to try, I wont have time to find new ones ugh
This is a great video! I have also used EFT (tapping) techniques which also worked for me. Running away from difficult feelings just makes them more powerful. Thank you, Liv x
i LOVE this. Well done! Thank you! xo
thank you
Good video! You bring the right information with a lot of humor! :)
Thanks!
I completely agree with you, thaks
Thank you soo much!
Thank you soooooo much!,!!!!!!!
I am flying to New Zealand tomorrow from the UK, that's a 14 hour flight then a 10 hour flight and I'm doing it on my own. This is so far out of my comfort zone I can't begin to tell you! I didn't even used to leave my home town on a train alone. This video is one of the most helpful I've found. Will add how I get on using these techniques after my flights.
Thank you! Yes, let us know! 🙏
Thank you! Yes, let us know! 🙏
Absolutely bloody amazing! It worked. Before I’ve had an awful time on a small one hour flight. This time a total of 24 hours flying EACH way. No fear...at all. I loved it. I’m astonished I did this alone too, even with an 8 hour stopover and fairy bad turbulence at times. As soon as the pandemic allows I’ll plan my next trip. Thank you so so much, it’s genuinely life changing X
thank you for this! hopefully it helps me on my flight :)
Thank you❤
“You didn’t write your will yet” 😂😂😂😂 I think that before every flight
I’m not scared of being up in the air or flying but I’m absolutely terrified of takeoff!!!! Is anyone else like this? I’ve never been on a plane before and I’m such a scaredy cat when it comes to roller coasters. So the the thought of going about 160 mph and then climbing up in the air for about 10 minutes while having that sinking feeling in your stomach scares me! I really want to know how to get over this because I don’t want to make a scene if I were to ever go on a plane, because that really is the only part that scares me.
Yes I can totally relate! I was always so scared of the takeoff
Yes! I am the same way I am only scared for take off but when I’m in the sky I’m totally fine it’s just that weird sinking feeling in your stomach at take off
Sameeeeeee that’s what I’m scared of
My fear is of being trapped. As soon as the door shuts I get anxious. I’ve been taking lorazepam and it’s been working but last week after years of being ok I was placed a a smaller aircraft by the airline than anticipated. As soon as I began to sit I got anxious and asked to leave the plane. They let me off and rescheduled me on another flight. I made it from my home in hawaii to LA and back but I want to beat this this forever.
Omg this helped me soooooo much!!!!!!!
Thank you, that really does help. You are the voice of reason. I hope I could get up the tenacity to go after that fear.
Go before that fear.
@@LivKissper Thank you
Lmao "Anxiety FM"
This also works for those who are struggling with panic attacks and anxiety. Dr. Claire Weekes talks about this method in her books. I've stopped my panic attacks using this approach.
Thank you for this. This was very helpful. Maybe you can record yourself speaking to and overcoming your anxiety in a longer format. Just audio of the anxiety FM telling you things, and your conscious self overcoming it. You have a great voice for this and I believe it would be very helpful.
I like these tips a lot
u r awesome. thank u.
I found this video because I have to fly and I wish I never read the comments section. I feel so much worse then before
Im not typically scared of flying, or not being in control. I’m more scared of falling from the sky. I’ve always hated falling and i just feel like the plane will just fall.
This is soooo funny! I’m planning a trip to NYC and I’m so scared to take the red eye!
I know this is from a year ago but the red eyes always the best! I hate being on a crowded plane makes my anxiety worse. Flying at night is peaceful and it's easy to fall asleep.
In fact the best flight I ever had was a red eye out of Anchorage to Seattle. There were only about five of us on the plane. it was peaceful and quiet and the full moon was shining on the Wasatch Mountain range. It was spectacularly beautiful--a site I never would have seen from that perspective had I not been on that plane. It was the least anxious plane trip I've ever had. if you have a long flight in your afraid of flying I highly suggest a red eye. Usually far less crowded, it's quiet and peaceful, and you can take a sleeping pill and sleep through it.
i don’t get how most people say the worst part is take off. it’s the middle when we are leaving 30,000 feet, to land.. I also hate air pockets, feels like the whole plane is free falling.
Fead your demons ( book I believe )! I will try this tomorrow;)
Do you have those comedy show recordings available? They would be hilarious to listen to during the flight! You could even make more of them, haha! Or just sit next to me on the plane, stating all of your sarcastic remarks. Thanks for the great tips!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This has completely worked for me and I have just enjoyed a flight as much as I first did as a child!
For me it was changing the perception of that fight or "flight" response. Resisting or distracting yourself from the fear/anxiety can actually make that perceived anxiety much worse, especially if the turbulence escalates or you're flying on an unfamiliar sounding aircraft.
Simply identify what you "thought" was rational or logical anxiety and re-label it as excitement, and then really lean into it!
This also actually helped with pre-flight concerns many hours before boarding. I now welcome the take off and turbulence. I love landing with a smile and dry palms now :)
If you need a little more logical / physical help... try considering air as a liquid that reacts to its surroundings (a bit like the ocean or a river) - that was a top tip that came directly from a commercial pilot which has also helped.
Love the air liquid tip! And thank you so much for sharing and really leaning into your fears! :)
Love you.
5:58 I expected it to be "brain departure, good day, this is anxiety 295 brain to muscles, climbing fear passing unease".
Flying for the first time this weekend. Thanks for the tips!
How was your flight??
@@TheQueenOfGreatness It wasn't bad. What helped me was the following... Wearing headphones and playing good music (Wicked Game by: Geminix, is what I played when the plane first started taking off. It made that part of the plane ride actually seem fun.) I'd also tell myself that I wasn't nervous, I was excited. The thing that helped me the most though was pretending that I was just in a weird vehicle driving up mountains. I never really let it register in my head that I was actually that high in the air. In my mind I was just high up a mountain. -Michael
@@TheSouthCarolinians
I fly ALL the time.
I'm glad you enjoyed.
I'm actually from Florence SC and flew into Florence for the first time Sunday LOL
I always tell myself, we're not up that high and I keep sipping water. I ALWAYS get the window seat to help relax me.
The only thing I can't get used to is the takeoff🤦🏾♀️
The worst take off I had so far was from Charlotte NC 😥
But I enjoy flying moreover than driving or car rides.
Glad you had an enjoyable experience and welcome to the ski high travels 😁✌🏾
@@TheQueenOfGreatness I didn't really mind the takeoff part, it reminded me of being on a roller coaster, being up high was my biggest issue. And, I actually tried to get the middle seat to avoid the window. haha :P
Is this really easy to do do you really have to put your mind to it
Ohmygosh 😂😂 that radio woman was so funny 😁 I think that's a good tip, to make fun of our useless frightening thoughts :)
I have flight tomorrow!
this is some trippy shit lol. best tips😂😩
"...you didn't write you will yet". For some reason, that was a little funny.
Yeh takeoff is all I hate about flying
Is it true that you own an Audi RS7?
FEAR - False Evidence Appearing Real
I recommend also to look at Pilot Mentour and Captain Joe channel. They are pilots who will explain to you in detail why you really schould scare from flying.
Anyway Airbus is one of the most sofisticate modern aircraft so if something go wrong they have plan B, C and so on. The thing is we don't have control over the situation.
Also look up Carlos interview how he land the plane without 2 engine's in severe turbulence and storm. It will give an idea that even in the worst case scenario things could end up differently.
Anyway tnx for the video and great technique btw.
Now seat back relax and fasten your seat belts :)
Thanks for that, Im flying next week and already have a knot in my stomache! :/ so silly, I hate it as want to enjoy my travels! I even have thoughts like - what should I be thinking if I will know Im going to die! so bad lol
