Cure for departure anxiety in less developed countries?

Upvote:1

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has good results with all sorts of anxieties. Some of the same ideas are behind the seminars many airlines offer to people who are afraid of flying in general but since your fears are so specific, you would be better served by seeking a therapist who can define a tailored program with you. Like everything else, it's not a silver bullet but many people obtain results in a handful of sessions (it's not meant to last forever like an analysis but to reach specific targets in a reasonable time).

I'm afraid that when it comes to psychological disturbs, there is no real cure but rather a set of skills and applied methods which can help managing them. One of my personal favourite is to take preventive action against those events that trigger the anxiety. So here it goes.

If you are afraid of someone tampering with your check-in bag, you can always wrap it in plastic. This will not only render your luggage harder to mess with, but also tamper-evident. You can also lock it with either locks or simpler methods such as wire ties. My assumption here is that tamper-evidence will allow you to rest a stronger case when explaining to airport security/police that these are not your drugs.
