De Stichting bestaat sinds 1 februari 1990. E\u00e9n van de wetenschappelijke uitgangspunten is dat vliegangst altijd een uiting is van een andere angst. Daarmee vervalt het argument dat vliegangst een luxeprobleem is. Er is altijd een andere angst mee verbonden, bijvoorbeeld controledrang, trauma, een gegeneraliseerde angststoornis (piekeren), claustrofobie en meer. Angst is dus nooit een luxeprobleem, aldus VALK.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, the airport chaplains and volunteers have listened to a lecture given by Drs. Kelly Pex, director and health psychologist with VALK. Practical suggestions were given how they can help a passenger who has a fear of flying, the specific do\u2019s and don\u2019ts  that they should be aware of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foundation VALK is an acronym for Fear of Flying Abatement Leiden University KLM. The institution has grown over the years and their meditation exercises in dealing with fear of whatever kind are available on Spotify (Dutch spoken).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"958\" data-attachment-id=\"1380\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/airportchaplaincy.nl\/en\/2024\/08\/26\/stichting-valk-staat-bekend-om-het-bieden-van-therapie-aan-mensen-met-vliegangst\/foto_01-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/airportchaplaincy.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/foto_01.webp\" data-orig-size=\"640,958\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"foto_01\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/airportchaplaincy.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/foto_01.webp\" src=\"https:\/\/airportchaplaincy.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/foto_01.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airportchaplaincy.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/foto_01.webp 640w, https:\/\/airportchaplaincy.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/foto_01-200x300.webp 200w, https:\/\/airportchaplaincy.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/foto_01-8x12.webp 8w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Drs.
