Review

I listened to this CD 5 days (25 minutes each day) prior to my trip. I had the BEST flight ever! Considering I drove off the last time I was supposed to fly, leaving my husband to board a plane for Vegas by himself, I needed help! This was the absolute best! At first I hated the anxiety I felt listening to the CD. I got over it. I LOVED the flight, looked out the window, actually went to the bathroom. I had a drink on the flight because I wanted to not because I needed it! I came home from my trip and booked two more trips! The freedom is awesome. Go for it! Get CD at least 2 weeks prior to flying as recommended by author. A little more time than what I had can't hurt." --Amazon (USA): A reviewer from Denver, CO USA

"Miraculous! And I do not use the word lightly. I avoided flying until I was over 34 years old and only flew twice in the 20 years following. It was extremely unpleasant for me as I was in a state of near terror during the entire flight. The sweat poured off me. The only way I could manage it was with a prescription for Ativan, a powerful anxiety relieving medication that also makes you very sleepy -- not the greatest thing for running through an airport trying to make your connecting flight! A chance came up for me to go to Maui, HI and I just couldn't turn it down. Though I was skeptical, I bought Fear of Flying and played it every day for a month right up to the day before the flight. I am extremely happy to report that the three flights involved in this trip was drug-free and went smoothly, calmly, and, yes, enjoyably. Whenever we hit turbulence (and hit a lot of it) I would just learn back in my seat, touch my index fingers to my thumbs and recite some of the affirmations from the sessions. My favorite was "Not a care in the world." The calm of training sessions quickly returned. My wife sat next to me in utter astonishment. Believe it or not, later that week I suggested a helicopter tour of Maui. We didn't actually get to go because of bad weather -- but I was willing! If your results are even half as good as mine, you will be amazed. The results I achieved using Glenn Harrold's Fear of Flying CD is truly remarkable and, knowing what I now know, I would pay ten times the price and wait in line to do it! Best of luck to you. I know what you are going through." --Amazon (USA): Rodney L. Merrill from Astoria, OR United States.

"HELPED ME LEARN TO TAKE TO THE SKY!, I ordered this from Amazon, and had them ship it overnight. I was desperate. I listened to the CD for a good week or two faithfully every morning. Mr. Harrold takes you through the whole flight with a reassuring voice. Step by step through arriving at the airport, take-off, during flight and landing. I am not sure if it is the subliminal messages or the soothing talking, but it has made me alot calmer with flying. I also listen to the CD before and during the flight (except take-off and landing...you have to turn off everything electronic) but by then, I am calm enough to handle it. I still have my Klonopin handy when I fly, but this CD has allowed me to fly without having to actually take it. Thank-you Mr. Harrold. I also recommend his other true potential CD, it is a real pick-me-up." --Review Source - Amazon

I avoided flying until I was over 34 years old and only flew twice in the 20 years following. It was extremely unpleasant for me as I was in a state of near terror during the entire flight. The sweat poured off me. The only way I could manage it was with a prescription for Ativan, a powerful anxiety relieving medication that also makes you very sleepy -- not the greatest thing for running through an airport trying to make your connecting flight!

A chance came up for me to go to Maui, HI and I just couldn't turn it down. Though I was skeptical, I bought Fear of Flying and played it every day for a month right up to the day before the flight. I also used anchoring techniques, such as touching my thumb to my index finger during the diaphragmatic breathing and the hypnotic induction so that my brain would learn to associate the activities. I listened very carefully to the pre-flight rehearsal and imagined it as vividly as I could. I also followed the flight rehearsal carefully and repeated the affirmations with feeling. In short, I really wanted this to work and cooperated accordingly.

I am extremely happy to report that the three flights involved in this trip was drug-free and went smoothly, calmly, and, yes, enjoyably. Whenever we hit turbulence (and hit a lot of it) I would just learn back in my seat, touch my index fingers to my thumbs and recite some of the affirmations from the sessions. My favorite was "Not a care in the world." The calm of training sessions quickly returned. My wife sat next to me in utter astonishment.

If your results are even half as good as mine, you will be amazed. The results I achieved using Glenn Harrold's Fear of Flying CD is truly remarkable and, knowing what I now know, I would pay ten times the price and wait in line to do it!

Best of luck to you. I know what you are going through.

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD is cool, December 27, 2004

This review is from: Overcome the Fear of Flying (Audio CD)

This was a valuable find. I listened to the CD leading up to my flight and was genuinely surprised by how well it went. I barely listened for the three weeks I was on my trip and had a more difficult time on the return flight. Next time I'll be more dilligent. Even the "bad" second flight was better than I've experienced in years. This is from someone who has tried pills and drinks and literally caused scenes on airplanes.

There are two tracks on the CD that one is supposed to alternate between for two weeks before flying. One track is for visualizing the day of the flight and the other contains deeper suggestions around flying as well as confidence and courage.

The result for me was less apprehension leading up to the flight and much more motivation and strength in confronting each step in the process: from waiting at the gate, to boarding, sitting--even taking off was somehow manageable, though admittedly more uncomfortable than sitting on the couch.

I have to give high marks to Glenn Harrold. The dreamy music, the London accent, his firm, yet compassionate style were perfect for the surreal nature of confronting such a deeply embedded fear.

I listened to this CD every day for two weeks before my last flight, and I was a changed person. I never consciously heard the recording (as I fell asleep or was hypnotized each time) until the morning of my flight. I was quite skeptical when I heard the author say that even if there was heavy turbulence, I would not be bothered by it. And he was right. My flight had a good amount of turbulence, and I was fine. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is a nervous flier. It was incredibly helpful to me.

I also listened to Fly Without Fear by KRS Edstrom. Useful coping tools, but a long recording. The two in conjuction were helpful in that I didn't really know what benefit the Harrold recording was offering until I was on the flight- and the Edstrom recording gave me specific coping skills I knew I could use in case it was stressful. It turned out not to be stressful, but I felt reassured knowing that I had tools to use.
