The "ThinkGoodPodcast" is hosted by clinical psychologist Dr. Tayeba Shaikh and clinical counselor Ankur Varma. In this episode, they dive into the timely topic of airplane anxiety, exploring how recent plane incidents and widespread media coverage have heightened fears around flying.
Dr. Shaikh and Varma explain anxiety as a combination of physiological changes and intrusive "what if" thoughts, distinguishing between general and situational anxiety. They discuss how anxiety can be a motivator, but also how it can escalate to panic attacks if unmanaged.
Tune in as they share personal anecdotes and professional insights on coping strategies for anxiety, particularly in the context of flying. Learn about simple yet powerful techniques like breathwork , the importance of sensory input and personal rituals , and the comfort that comes from planning and understanding what you can control. They also highlight the surprisingly low statistics for plane accidents, stating that out of approximately 40.6 million flights worldwide last year, there were only 46 accidents, reminding listeners that flying is statistically very safe.
