Dr. Keri Johns talks with Denver Channel 7 about Virtual Reality Therapy for Fear of Flying!

Denver Channel 7 News interviewed CBTDenver's psychologist, Dr. Keri Johns, about why alcohol is not a great coping strategy for flight anxiety and an innovative therapy for people who want to learn healthier coping strategies for air travel.

However, as alcohol is no longer being served on most major airlines, people are feeling more anxious and unsure of how to cope without those in-flight drinks.
