What would you tell someone who has severe anxiety when flying? Why is turbulence so terrifying?

I've been there! I remember my first flight as a teenager. I was even alone in the airplane for the first time!!
The anxiety comes from the fear of the unknown. The easier first step to overcome that fear is learning how a plane flies. Let me try to put it with a metaphor:
Think of the air like a road, and the plane's wings like a car's wheels. Turbulence is just like bumps or potholes. It feels shaky, but it's not dangerous. Planes are built to handle way more than that, and pilots deal with it all the time.
