Debbie Adamson overcomes aerophobia

Entities: Southampton · Orlando · BTS · Santorini · Debbie Adamson

Overview

Debbie Adamson, a 67‑year‑old resident of Southampton, avoided air travel for 17 years after a distressing flight as a student. In 2025 she chose to confront the fear, spurred by her 40th wedding anniversary. A pilot friend explained aircraft safety, and she joined a Facebook community for people with aerophobia. She compiled a personal playlist of BTS songs, which she listened to during take‑off on test flights to Orlando, USA, and later on a celebratory flight to Santorini, Greece. The music helped manage sensory overload and allowed her to complete the journeys without panic, demonstrating how knowledge, peer support and music therapy can aid recovery from severe flight anxiety.
