Overcoming Your Fear of Flying

Many people consult a hypnotist for help overcoming the fear of flying. Some people are mildly anxious about flying but find it gets worse over time -- others develop a full-blown phobia with no apparent reason.

In my experience, there are three types of “fear of flying.” First there is the fear of a plane crash. Second is the fear of not being in control; and third is what seems to be more a symptom of claustrophobia. Usually the nervous flyer fits the profile of someone who has flown many times in the past and didn't always experience fear.

Hypnosis can be extremely beneficial and often helps to significantly reduce or eliminate the fear. We start with a goal: would you prefer simply to be able to enjoy flying, or to just cope with flying? There is a healthy benefit to fear, if that fear is logical -- illogical or irrational fear, however, is just fear that has become a little too intense, and hypnosis can help diminish it.
