For many people, flying is an exciting adventure, or simply a means of getting from one place to another efficiently and rapidly. But for others, it can trigger intense anxiety—racing thoughts, a pounding heart, and a strong urge to avoid air travel altogether, even feeling sick or, in extreme cases, fainting.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Fear of flying is one of the most common phobias, and the good news is that it’s highly treatable.
As a hypnotherapist, I have seen and helped many suffering from this fear. How? Well, hypnotherapy is not about losing control. Instead, it is a guided process that helps you enter a deeply relaxed, focused state—sometimes described as a heightened form of concentration. In this state, your mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and new ways of thinking.
Fear of flying can stem from a variety of sources:
● Fear of lack of control
● Claustrophobia
● Turbulence anxiety
● Past negative experiences
● Generalized anxiety or panic tendencies
Often, these fears are reinforced over time, making them feel automatic and overwhelming.
While totally relaxed, you can access that part of the mind that is running this fear and make the changes you need to make. You’ll remain aware and in control throughout. Many people report feeling deeply relaxed, similar to the moments just before falling asleep.
