This handout provides practical, peer-informed strategies for managing fear of flying, drawn from common themes shared by individuals who actively cope with flight anxiety. It outlines education-based approaches (understanding turbulence and aircraft safety), grounding and breathing techniques to regulate anxiety in the moment, cognitive strategies to reduce anticipatory worry, and behavioral tools such as gradual exposure and intentional distraction. The handout also emphasizes self-compassion, preparation, and seeking professional support when needed, offering readers both immediate coping skills and longer-term approaches for building confidence with air travel.
