How can hypnotherapy help with  a fear of flying?

Fear of flying is a common phobia that affects many people. People with a fear of flying will experience fear or anxiety when they consider flying, as well as during flying.

They will look to avoid flying if they can, which causes significant distress and can lead to panic attacks before and during the flight experience. Take-off, bad weather, and turbulence appear to be the most anxiety provoking aspects of flying. 

The fear can often be traced back from a negative childhood experience or has been triggered as a result of some traumatic experience on a recent flight which has then been embedded in the subconscious. The job of the subconscious is to look out for us and protect us so it’s no real surprise that it puts up barriers and trails of fear if we have encountered a negative flying experience. Sometimes these fears can also be connected to anxiety around enclosed spaces or a feeling of not being in control. Both of them can cause the phobia to be a complex one. According to researchers, air travel is the safest form of transportation with the lowest risk of death. But the problem is that whilst we may acknowledge this in our conscious thinking, the negative experiences have programmed the subconscious to focus only on the things that can go wrong.

Hypnotherapy will look to discover the underlying causes of the anxiety of flying, perhaps discovering an initial event in the past which has triggered these thoughts and fears. 

Through relaxation techniques, you can learn how to slow your heart-rate variability to breathe deeply and regularly and to use anchoring techniques to restore the sense of imbalance. In essence we are looking to replace negative, fearful and catastrophic thoughts with positive coping statements. Through some ‘reframing’ techniques the subconscious mind can learn to approach similar future situations with literally a different mind-set to break the cycle. I will also work with you to unhook yourself from these negative thoughts and come to an acceptance that sometimes in life we just can’t always be in control and need to trust in the skills and expertise of others.
