Why Flying Fear Starts in Your Late Twenties

Hannah loved flying her whole life — until one flight in her mid-twenties, when terror showed up out of nowhere. It turns out her timing was almost exactly average. This episode digs into sudden-onset aerophobia: why the clinical average age of onset is twenty-seven, why the fear is usually about panic and loss of control rather than crashing, and why a bad flight is rarely the actual trigger. We also cover what the evidence says about treatment — including why simply learning what all those strange airplane noises mean does measurable work. If you've ever white-knuckled a flight you used to enjoy, this one's for you.
