Hypnosis And Fear Of Flying
Hiya, as I said above, I have an awful fear of flying, to the extent that I dug my non-existent nails into my bf's arm so hard that I made him bleed-when we flew..eeekkk! Is really odd as I use to love flying, yet now petrified! Have tried Valium, doesn't do much and hate the idea of being on drugs! Have read a book that really helped, by a former BA pilot, but stilll have those awful anxious feelings. Contemplating hypnosis, anyone know if it works? Actually a bit of a baby, scared of most things and desperate to get over it! Think it all mounts up to a fear of dieing..not fun!<br> Thanks in advance
My fear of flying began 3 years ago on a flight to Toronto during a bout of clear air turbulance since then I have been afraid to fly The one time I did it to Vegas I had panic attacks. I have tried the fast phobia tecnique in Neuro linguistic programming and self hypnosis I have also seen a hypnotist but I am still afraid can anyone help me with ant tecniques
I am a little confused by the self hypnosis part, but i have gotten over a fear of flying, there are a few websites that not only describe what happens when a plane flies but also explain all those noises and such that might freak you out. deep breathing, regardless helps calm anxiety. once you take off thou you should be okay, i find that to be the worst part- your doctor could also recommend something to take before you get on the plane, if you arent flying alone-
I have great anxiety taking a flight, both before and during the air flight. How can I lessen the anxiety. Can hypnosis help?

Sometimes people suffer from a level of anxiety so high when up in the air, that they simply cannot function. When anxiety over flying gets to that point, it becomes fear of flying. Especially for <a href="/post/fear/stop/stage-fear-public-rid/">people</a> in business, commercial air flight has become a part of the landscape. Business men and women are being asked to travel all over the shrinking world to close jobs and work on business deals. If you cannot fly because of a high level of anxiety, then you are at a marked disadvantage in this business world. Fear of flying is really just a mental block that you can overcome. It takes a little bit of work, though. Does the thought of heading up into the sky make your skin crawl? Are you overcome with a healthy dose of anxiety each <a href="/post/fear/experience/fear-flying-conquer-fear/">time</a> you sit in an airplane? If this is the case, then you have a fear of flying. This is not at all uncommon, though. People all over the world suffer from this common phobia. Fear of flying generally comes from preconceived notions about flying that have been developed and never changed. If they are left unattended, you will probably never be able to board an airplane to head across the ocean. As mentioned, this can really handcuff those folks who need to fly for business or family reasons. Since fear of flying is a mental condition, you will have to have a serious change in thinking in order to get over the fear. Though it isn’t easy to shake a phobia like fear of flying, it is possible if you get the right treatment. One such treatment that I have found to be successful in stopping <a href="/post/fear/solution/fear-heights-psychiatry-agoraphobia/">fear</a> of flying is hypnotherapy. In my years as a practicing hypnotherapist, I have treated people for a bunch of common mental ailments. I have helped people get over their smoking, their drug addictions, and their gambling addiction. Fear of flying is no different than those things. Hypnosis is a serious thing for serious problems. It is a treatment that can help people get over some of the most serious problems that they face in everyday life. Though many people don’t consider hypnosis when they are discussing their options for different problems, it is worth considering. If you have problems with flying, then get some information on hypnotherapy. It could be the best decision that you have ever made.
