I watched a really interesting programme on Saturday during the day about a aldy who had an immense fear of flying.
basically she had a CBT therapist with her all the way and he fuond out she had a real fear of heights and started to take her up a building. the poor woman had a panic(not quite a blown attack) on the 2nd (or 3rd) floor and my heart really went out to her.
Anyway she went on a flight simulator and spoke to a pilot and eventually she flew to paris!!!
I was sooo chuffed for her and was nearly in tears as it was a true inspiratiion about tackling phobia/anxiety. I know we can't get our therapists to come everywhere with us but this was one brave lady who tackled her fear head on!!!
Anyway it was on Saturday about 1pm(ish) (klost track of time as i was lounging about nursing another nasty 'man' cold!!
Something similiar may be on next week - if so it is def. worth watching
Love
