If turbulence, which is incredibly routine and of no danger to an aircraft, can make you terrified, you may benefit from professional help.
My flying phobia has diminished to the point where it's hardly a factor except in moderate turbulence and above and, in any event, doesn't prevent me from flying. As my phobia has no impact on my life, except to make me uncomfortable during those rare occassions when a plane encounters moderate turbulence or worse, I see no reason to do anything about it (other than have an extra drink or two).
