TV therapists Nik and Eva Speakman led a fear of flying workshop in Manchester, using a decommissioned plane at the airport. They helped participants identify the root cause of their fears, often unrelated to planes, and provided calming techniques and mantras to cope. Vita Molyneux, a travel expert with aerophobia, discovered her fear was not rational or justified after realizing her root cause was a family member's unintentional comment during a past flight. The Speakmans believe that no one is born with phobias, but they develop over time, usually in childhood, emphasizing the importance of identifying root causes for overcoming them.
