How This Self-Help "Fear of Flying" Program Was Created

I had the opportunity to design the first national program for the fearful flier (sponsored by American Airlines). This program is based on that successful seminar and on my years of experience working with people desiring to fly comfortably again. We have also developed a take-home course for those who are afraid to fly, called Achieving Comfortable Flight.
