How I Fixed My Fear of Flying By Embracing Something Worse - The Cut (No paywall)

How mad will my friends be if I don't make it? Will my niece cry if I blow off the family trip? The day before my flight, dread sets in, and instead of doing something useful, like packing, I'll enact my own obsessive-compulsive-style protocol.
