Hypnotherapy for overcoming a fear of flying, flying phobia (aviophobia)
Using hypnosis in the form of hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can cure a fear of flying or flying phobia. Flying without fear is an achievable goal. It is possible to overcome a fear of flying and cure aviophobia.
It is probably true that everyone has to overcome some degree of concern over flying even if this does not extend to overcoming an actual fear. If you have a flying phobia, being quoted statistics that it is the safest form of transport does not seem to carry much impact. I heard an executive from a major airline once put it into perspective by saying that it may be the safest mode of transport but it is also the most unforgiving. The more safety checks that are made the safer we become but the more we are aware of those safety checks the more we are aware that things can go wrong and the greater the likelihood is that we will become afraid.
Even the terminology of flying reminds us of our own mortality. We catch our flight from a “terminal”, we hear frequent announcements being the “last call” for passengers and, of course, the aeroplane always has a “final” destination.
For most people flying is not a frequent activity so any concerns they have can easily be amplified out of all proportion. A fear of flying can develop from a “frightening” experience while flying such as bad weather or even the non appearance of turbulence when the captain has warned of its imminent arrival. Fear of flying is also something that can grow from other fears. A fear of flying can develop from a fear of heights, claustrophobia, emetophobia or fear of being sick and one of my clients even developed it from the fear of being alone.
Hypnotherapy and NLP is used to help the sufferer to view the initial sensitising experience from a different, safer, perspective. The hypnosis allows you to develop a new perspective that does not hold the fear that was programmed in by the original experience. It comes down to a matter of perspective; if you looked at flying from the perspective of an airline pilot it is extremely unlikely that you would have any fear of flying. Your aviophobia, flying phobia or fear of flying can, therefore, be overcome.
