Hypnotherapy for Flying

Despite flying being one of the safest ways to travel, fear of flying is still one of the most common phobias. Hypnotherapy for fear of flying is one solution to enable you to travel freely again without the anxiety or panic associated with your phobia.

To many it may seem like an irrational fear. To you, fear of flying (or aerophobia) is very real and can severely impact your life – from missing out on family holidays to ensuring your employment doesn’t require you to travel abroad.

When your mind perceives you to be in danger, your brain will automatically initiate feelings of anxiety. The level of these feelings varies from person to person and it’s not just being on a plane that can cause the anxiety. Anything from booking a holiday or even just thinking about boarding a plane can be the trigger. Whether you’re able to board a plane but spend the entire journey feeling nauseous and panicking, or you’re not even able to step near an airport, hypnosis for fear of flying can help you.

Benefits of Using Hypnosis for Fear of Flying

Symptoms experienced from aerophobia can be all or a combination of sweating, panic attacks, blurred vision, nausea, racing heartbeat, clammy hands or dry mouth. Using hypnosis for fear of flying can eliminate these feelings and help you feel more in control of your emotional and physical response when flying.

Hypnotherapy will:

• Replace irrational anxieties with calming, positive thoughts
• Remove the need for alcohol or tranquilisers to cope with a flight
• Enable you to live your life without avoiding flying whether for business or pleasure

Cost of Hypnotherapy for Flying

People’s fear of flying can vary dramatically from mild anxiety prior to flying, to feelings of such terror that they can’t even step near the airport. This will have some bearing on the length of treatment and the number of sessions you need. Hypnosis for fear of flying does have very good success rates though, with people able to fly without anxiety after just a few hypnotherapy sessions.

How Does Hypnotherapy for Flying Work?

Hypnotherapy aims to change your thoughts and behaviours associated with your fear of flying. Through using the power of suggestion and relaxation techniques, hypnotherapy can help you to become more relaxed and calmer, helping you to feel safe and in control of your fears.

Your fear of flying wasn’t always there and is a learnt fear. It may have stemmed from previous turbulent flights or may have developed after having children – which is thought to be driven by survival instincts. Through hypnosis, we’ll uncover the root cause of your fear and identify what triggers your phobia. We’ll then re-programme your thoughts and behaviours so you don’t experience the anxiety when it comes to flying.

What to Expect at your Hypnotherapy Session

During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your fear of flying in detail, and what you’re looking to achieve. I’ll explain how hypnosis works and we’ll agree a path forward that you’re happy and comfortable with.

During the hypnotherapy session, I’ll induce a state of mind where you’re relaxed and calm. This almost sleep-like state is when your mind is more open to suggestion. I may ask you to visualise getting on a plane or stepping into an airport. When you recognise the feelings of fear and anxiety from your phobia, I’ll offer suggestions or calming words. These will have been discussed with you and will be whatever you feel will work best for you. The idea behind this is that whenever you’re confronted by flying in the future, these words or suggestions will enter your mind. This will enable you to feel in control of your emotions.

I will also teach you some simple self-hypnosis techniques that you can use in the future when presented with flying.
