Publisher's Synopsis
Another straight to the point book by Captain Keith. No wasted words, no long introduction, no waffle just on with the job of overcoming a fear of flying. Feelings need to be replaced with Facts and that is the author's main theme. Captain Keith gives you permission to be fearful, he lets you take some fear with you on a flight, he encourages you to find your 'fix'. A fear of flying is a learned fear and Captain Keith helps you to unlearn it by persuasion rather than telling you what you should do. The way you do it is up to you because that's the best way to learn. In exchange he'll give you all the guidance you'll need. He is a very experienced teacher and knows how to get you to think for yourself without ever leaving you in doubt about your success. "Imagine two pieces of paper, on one you have written your feelings about flying ...these are your facts. I cannot dispute your feelings but what I am going to challenge are the conclusions you draw from them. These incorrect conclusions have led you to where you are now.On the other piece of paper I have written all the Facts about flying. What we are going to do is to slide my piece of paper over your piece so that your feelings are gradually replaced by my facts. But we are not going to remove all your feelings because that would be unrealistic, you are allowed to have some feelings of anxiety after all you're human and trying to contain all your feelings might cause the pressure to build up too much. You need a bit of a safety valve where you can 'relax'. It's being human that lets you have or gives you a fear of flying. The fear of flying is NOT a weakness. It's just the way you are right now. Don't fret about having the fear, it's allowed."
