Maybe you recognize yourself or those feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, conflict, shame, humiliation, stark terror or dread when having to fly or even thinking of flying. Many have overcome these feelings through the Courage To Fly program. By looking at this website, you have already made a first step to reach out for a solution. Courage To Fly is a program for anyone who has the courage to face fear and to take control of their own flying experience.

How does Courage To Fly work?

Courage To Fly is an in-flight CD program for fearful flyers. It is designed to help you manage anxiety before and during your actual flight. It is a personalized program which includes a structured format for developing your own system to take fear out of the driver’s seat and to put you back in charge of your life. In addition to the CD program you have the option to work one on one with Coach Robin Fay-McNair. It is called an in-flight program, because it is modeled after the flight plan that pilots make to organize their flights. Instead of focusing on the pilot’s business of flying the plane, Courage To Fly is a tool which helps you to prepare your own flight experience to feel safe.

Your in-flight program focus is on giving you:

• answers to frequently asked questions about flying ( FAQ )
• information on fear and how to manage it
• personal methods of preparing you for your flying experience through developing;
• clear and realistic goal for overcoming your fear
• clear motivation statement
• personalized support system
• structure of identified trigger words or “hot words” that stimulate your fear
• relaxation and deep breathing program

You can use the Courage To Fly program in different ways, if you:

• want a self-help program, which you can use on your own whenever you want
• want a last minute program you can use before the flight and that gives support during the flight
• want a supplement to therapy, or another fear of flying clinic
• want a refresher course to recapture your courage to fly
• want a personal coach for support and direction
  
  

“When I first got the CD Courage To Fly I must say that I didn't have much hope for myself but I'd try it anyway , I had nothing to lose.  I put the CD on in my car and listened to it on my way to work, the store, the gym, where ever I'd go, I played it over and over and over. Almost until I memorized it! Also, in addition to the CD, I took advantage of another of Robin’s options - personnel one-on-one conversations! Boy was that great!  Courage To Fly really helped me conquer my fears of flying”.
