I can't thank Tom Laessig enough for the support and guidance I received in overcoming my flight anxiety. Before Tom, flying used to be a nightmare for me. I would be in full panic mode before even getting to the airport : racing heart, sweaty palms, and white-knuckling the armrests the entire flight. I’ve even had full-blown panic attacks midair. I would do everything I could to avoid flying, so much so I hadn't flown in YEARS. The fear would just consume me for weeks beforehand.
After just a few sessions with Tom I got on a flight 6hr. flight , and, for the first time in years, I felt calm. I actually sat back in my seat, relaxed, and didn’t feel that crushing sense of fear. I didn’t need to distract myself constantly or grip the seat for dear life. We also worked on my elevator anxiety, which has affected me for as long as I can remember. I used to avoid elevators completely, taking the stairs whenever possible . Now, I can step into an elevator without hyperventilating! . It's something I never thought I’d be able to do comfortably.
Tom was so patient and really took the time to understand what I was experiencing. I always felt safe and heard iin our sessions. If you’re struggling with anxiety, I cannot recommend him enough. This experience has truly changed my life.
