SOAR: El tratamiento definitivo para superar el miedo a volar

by Tom Bunn

Si has intentado lidiar con el miedo a volar y no has tenido éxito, no has fracasado. Los métodos inadecuados te han fallado.

Los pilotos creen que solo hay que entender qué tan seguro es volar. No es tan simple. Las estadísticas no ayudan. Los psicólogos ofrecen ejercicios de relajación. Aunque funcionan bien en el suelo, los ejercicios de relajación no reducen la ansiedad en el aire.

Al trabajar con miles de clientes y estudiar cómo funciona la mente, el Capitán Tom encontró una forma de controlar automáticamente la ansiedad, la claustrofobia y el pánico. SOAR es el método más avanzado para tratar la fobia a volar. A medida que lea este libro, se le guiará a través de los pasos que debe seguir para superar su miedo a volar. Después de haber leído el libro y practicado los ejercicios del libro, se sentirá seguro y cómodo cuando vuele.

About the author

After graduating from Wake Forest University in psychology, Tom entered the U.S. Air Force. Number one in his class when he got his wings in 1960, he was given his choice of assignments, and chose to fly the Air Force's first supersonic jet fighter, the F-100.

He served from 1961 until 1965 with the 9th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany flying the F-100 and F-105. In addition to flying, he did accident investigation and developed a safety device for the F-100.

While in Germany, Captain Tom raced a Lola Mk5 Formula 3 at the Nurburgring, Zolder, Zandvordt, and Rouen. When returning to the U.S., he converted the car to SCCA Formula C specifications, and won a U.S. National Championship in 1965.

From 1965 until 1986, he flew DC-8s, 707s, and 747s internationally with Pan Am. From 1986 until 1996, he flew 747s, 757s and 767s at United Airlines.

The first fear of flying program was started at Pan Am by Captain Truman "Slim" Cummings. Captain Tom worked with him on that program until founding SOAR in 1982 to develop more effective methods for dealing with flight problems. This led to graduate school at Fordham University where he earned a Masters Degree with top honors, and several years of postgraduate study at the Gestalt Center Of Long Island, the New York Training Institute For Neurolinguistic Programming, and The Masterson Institute. He was licensed as a therapist in 1990.
