Aviophobia, or fear of flying

Aviophobia is the fear of flying, or of travelling by air. It is a simple phobia (i.e. it is not related to a situation, but is specific to the aircraft itself). Fear of flying can be linked to other phobias such as fear of heights, claustrophobia or agoraphobia. On the other hand, the fear of flying itself is often related to the fact of not having control over the situation. In effect, we are leaving our lives in the hands of an unknown person. This is why we feel as if we are putting it at risk. 20% of the world’s population suffers from aviophobia

VIRTUAL REALITY ADAPTS TO YOUR PHOBIA

AIRPORT

Flying is not something you do every day, but even so, a phobia of flying can quickly become a handicap for professional or personal activities. All the steps before entering the plane will gradually increase the anxiety.

You will relive in virtual reality all the steps before taking the plane: the entrance to the airport, the boarding gate with the passage of the security gate, the entry into the plane through the narrow tunnel and the tarmac. Your psychologist, will be able to modify the looks of the people you are talking to as well as their mood.

AEROPLANE

After having completed all the steps reproducing the beginning of the flight, you will take the plane in virtual reality. All the previous stages may have already increased the anxiety, but this anxiety may be even greater in the following stages: take-off with the noises, the flight where you may have the impression of being stuck, the turbulence that you cannot control, the landing and the exit from the plane.

As with the previous stages, your therapist, can modify various parameters that can intensify anxiety in these situations: the look of the people you meet, their mood, etc.

Social Phobias

Social phobia, or social anxiety, is a fear of certain social activities or performances. These are situations in which the person feels intense anxiety about possible negative judgment from others. This anxiety can significantly affect self-confidence, making any social interaction difficult. Public speaking is often a major source of stress for those suffering from social phobia, as they fear being observed, rejected, embarrassed, or humiliated, which triggers avoidance and isolation behaviors. This social phobia can lead to a lot of suffering and should not be taken lightly. In Europe, 2 to 4% of the population suffers from social phobia, and it is more prevalent among women than men. The consequences on self-confidence and the ability to speak in public can be severe, often requiring professional intervention to help individuals overcome their fears and improve their quality of life.
