Don't let fear of flying keep you on the ground
Does a fear of flying restrict your holiday destination options or even stop you going entirely?
Read below some wonderful advice from my good acquaintance and therapist Sally Howard on how you can overcome those fears and then together we can work on fulfilling your travel wishes and longed for dreams.
Aerophobia, an intense fear of flying, is thought to affect approximately 1 in 10 of us. The fear of flying can be linked to the fear of airplanes, or it could be an aspect of other psychological problems such as claustrophobia, a fear of hights, or post-traumatic stress disorder. The fear of flying can be quite debilitating with days and sleepless nights worrying, that churning feeling in your stomach, growing anxiety and the fear of the panic taking over, feeling sick and scared that you will faint …
I would suggest avoiding things that can make anxiety worse, such as caffeine, drugs or alcohol. Also, distraction can help, breathing exercises, listening to music, but coping mechanisms are like sticky plasters that can peal off. I work to desensitise any root cause and block that anxiety pathway by recognising it as un unhelpful program and then directly asking the subconscious to delete the old program. Putting an end to the anxiety, panic attacks, nausea and an upset stomach, missed opportunities, giving yourself a hard time, always on high alert, that flight or fight … so you are then able to just say “Yes” to the flight to your dream destination!
I work with clients both in-person and on Zoom, for most we have overcome the fear of flying in one 90-minute session, allowing them to travel for work or pleasure, anxiety-free!
A phobia can affect different people in different ways. I work with the person and what that phobia means to them, rather than working on the phobia, because that delivers a lasting solution. The techniques I use, hypnosis or otherwise, mean that you are consciously engaged in the process which, I believe, is what helps us make such powerful positive changes.
