When I was struggling with flight anxiety, I would have more trouble with the weeks leading up to the flight compared to being on the plane.

What most people don't realize, is that they have a direct role in participating and creating the scary stories leading up to the flight.

I'm not saying it's easy to control, but with practice you can get better at it.

Comment the word "TOOLS" to 12 more Flight Anxiety Tips like this.

Want to work on your fear of flying? Live near the Twin Cities?

Our MSP Airport event might be a great low-pressure next step.

No flight required—just a chance to be inside the airport and sit inside of a real aircraft.

We’ll walk through the terminal together, spend time in the trainer plane, answer any questions about your concerns about flying and teach you how to start working on being able to fly with less fear.

It’s a short but powerful experience designed to help you build confidence towards flying.

This event will be held on Saturday January 17.

Comment “MSP” and I’ll DM you the link to grab your spot — only 25 available.

Imagine walking through the airport and sitting inside a real aircraft… without the pressure of actually getting on a flight.

That’s exactly what our MSP Airport event is about. You’ll spend time in the trainer plane, practice going through security, and join a live Q&A with us—Jenny (therapist who specializes in flight anxiety) and Justin (former aviation guy + therapist).

This is your chance to:

✅ See the airport and aircraft up close in a calm, supportive environment
✅ Ask your questions—big or small—about flying, anxiety, or both
✅ Be surrounded by others who feel the same way you do about flying

Event Date: January 17
Location: MSP International Airport

Anxious language fuels anxious feelings.

You don’t have to “think positive” — just tweak your words a little.

Words that feed anxiety → “Should,” “Always,” “Can’t,” “Have to,” “What if…”

Words that shift anxiety → “Could,” “Sometimes,” “I’m learning,” “I choose to,” “Even if…”

The way you talk to yourself is part of your healing.

Our therapists teach skills like this every day — small language shifts that help calm your body and mind.

👉 Minnesota + South Dakota folks:

Schedule your free 15-minute consultation to start learning how to talk to yourself with more compassion.

If overthinking was an Olympic sport, would you have a gold medal?

Your brain tricks you into believing that replaying scenarios and seeking reassurance will bring certainty—but instead, it just fuels more anxiety and doubt.

🚨 21 days to go! 🚨

Imagine learning how to handle flight anxiety while sitting inside a real aircraft… and then watching planes take off from the observation deck — all with experts right there to guide you.

That’s exactly what’s happening at our Navigating Flight Anxiety at MSP Airport event. We’ll walk through security together, spend time in the trainer plane for mindfulness practice + conversation, and finish with live Q&A while planes taxi and take off right in front of us.

A different way to treat OCD — no exposures required

If exposure therapy hasn’t felt like the right fit, you still have options.

Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you understand how OCD stories get started in your mind — and how to step out of them.

Instead of focusing on exposures, I-CBT works by helping you reason differently in the moments OCD tries to pull you in.

You’ll learn to recognize the mental traps of “what if” thinking and rebuild trust in your own judgment.

It’s a gentle but powerful way to break free from chronic doubt and start feeling more confident in your choices.

If you’d like to learn more about I-CBT, schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation with one of our therapists. (Link in comments)

Supporting an anxious flyer? Here’s what actually helps

Flying can be tough for someone who’s anxious—and the best thing you can do is make the experience feel as calm and predictable as possible.

Choose comfort when you can.
A little extra legroom or a seat closer to the front can make the ride feel smoother and less claustrophobic.

Plan ahead together.
Talk through what the day will look like—packing, timing, what helps at the airport—so nothing feels rushed.

Ask what they need.
Some people want to talk. Others need quiet. It’s easier to ask now than to guess mid-flight.

Stay grounded yourself.
Your calm energy matters. If you’re relaxed, they’ll feel it too.

If someone you care about dreads flying, share our free Flight Anxiety Audio Series with them.
It’s three short lessons that teach 12 strategies to manage flight anxiety—plus a bonus in-flight track for extra support.
