Fear of Flying and Hypnosis

Zita — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 08:12:27 +0000

Fear of flying in my experience has very little to do with planes and flying – it can be the fear of loss of control or indeed, allowing your fears and anxiety about something else funnel into flying because it is not something that is done regularly. In working with me, you are learning how to control your anxiety with regard to flying. All hypnosis is self hypnosis – I am just your tour guide to the working of your mind and how by creating the right set of circumstances you make any change you want. Hypnosis is a guided relaxation so that you can access the power of your subconscious where you can make the changes you want to make.

We need to look at where it begins for you and how it manifests in your body. Because it is rare to be actually about fear of planes. Your subconscious mind, in an effort to protect you, will focus your anxiety onto something like flying so that you can cope in your everyday situation and then when it comes to going on a trip – your subconscious mind allows the anxiety to build and the focus is on the plane. Fear is not a bad thing – it allows you to react appropriately to protect yourself but when anxiety (which is more about anticipation of something bad happening) associates to a fear then a phobia is born. With hypnosis we are alleviating the anxiety with regard to the fear of flying.

Stop Fear of Flying with Hypnosis in Dublin, Portlaoise & Limerick

Zita — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 09:00:44 +0000

Hypnosis and NLP techniques can help in many ways to help you to overcome and stop your fear of flying (aviophobia). While the fear of flying can sometimes have nothing to do with planes, the main issue behind the fear of flying is the loss of control. You can’t see what the driver (pilot) is doing, if there is a problem and the only feedback you can get is from the air cabin crew. You probably find that you also hyperfocus on the different sounds that you hear and actually look for faults.

Think of flying like driving (and remember flying is safer than driving, it is just that the media choose to sensationalise any flying mishaps that do occur without acknowleding all the thousands of planes that took off and landed safely!). When driving you have to adjust your driving pattern to multiple factors – weather conditions and road maintenance but do you physically check your car before each journey you take – do you check under the bonnet, check the tyres, check the lights are all working. Chances are that you do not but the pilot does and the aircraft maintenance crew check every plane. If the weather is particularly windy then the pilot must adjust the plane to take the easiest course – like you would avoid pot-holes.

Acceleration and decleration on the plane will occur just like you would change your car gears. With hypnosis, you are learning to relax to various sounds and calm the inner you rather than reacting to “what if” because your body doesn’t know what is real or imagined and your body will respond as though there is actually a problem.

If you would like to travel with your family or work demands you fly, why not book in for a session. Imagine that in just a short time you could be a different person reaching your destination in a calm, relaxed fashion.

Fear of Flying – Overcome it with Hypnosis

Zita — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 08:53:34 +0000

What hypnosis does is help you to relax, so that you feel that you can change and feel different rather than letting a fear of flying control you. When you think of flying, you probably feel the flutter in your tummy or perhaps your heart beats a little faster… setting in motion the chain of events and you didn’t even go near a plane!

With hypnosis we disrupt the neuro-physiological pattern so that you can think of flying, planes, booking a flight etc and you are calm rather the anxiety and nervousness which you have already “trained” yourself to feel. There is a connection between your thoughts and your physical responses. So in visualising yourself as being calm and relaxed on a plane, your subconscious mind records this as being the new way to be but it needs to be re-enforced by listening to your CD. The focus moves to why you are travelling – to see loved ones, have a break, have new adventures and thoughts of flying take their rightful place, as a means to get there. Just as you would drive or take a bus or train.

Don’t you want to enjoy your time away? Isn’t it time to overcome your fear of flying?

Fear of Flying – Hypnosis Helps.

Zita — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:03:59 +0000

If you are planning a get away after Christmas but dread the thought of flying, let me help you by conquering your fear of flying. Just by a few simple reprogramming techniques, you can feel more relaxed and comfortable at the thought of flying so that when the time comes for the flight, you feel in control. Fear of flying with its related anxiety and panic can cause you, as you know, to focus on the wrong aspect of the holiday – the flight and then when you are on holidays, no doubt your enjoyment of the time away lessens as you think about having to endure the flight home. Sometimes fear of flying may have nothing to do with the flight in itselft – it can be about the loss of control, having to trust someone else i.e. the pilot or it may be related to the sounds on the plane. Whatever the problem, I can help you feel more comfortable, no matter when the anxiety about flying starts. Don’t let your holidays plans be ruined by this fear and call me on 086 1038892.

Fear of Flying & Hypnosis – Help in Laois and Limerick

Zita — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:35:20 +0000

If your winter holiday is close but find you are feeling anxious at the thought of flying, why not let hypnosis help to conquer your fear of flying. Hypnosis works by relaxing your from within and then using visualisation techniques to desensitise your from your trigger so you are in a position to cope and feel in control on your flight. How much better would this be for you rather than drinking or taking prescribed medications. It is empowering you and your subconscious mind made the connection between the plane and/or flying and feelings of anxiety and panic so it stands to reason that only your subconscious mind can reprogramme the plane and flying to being calm and relaxed (or whatever the worst part of the flight is for you). The best part is that you can conquer your fear of flying in just one session (intensive) usually. What a Christmas present to give yourself especially if you are going skiing in the New Year. Call me on 086 1038892, zita@zitastanley.com and conquer your fear of flying now.

Fears and Phobias – Eliminate them with Hypnosis in Portlaoise, Dublin

Zita — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:39:37 +0000

When you develop a phobia, anxiety has attached itself to the fear and this fear takes on a new life and becomes conditioned by association so any e.g. dog or plane will set off a series of stress responses in your body and you only see to see them in the distance! When you start to avoid the perceived “trigger” then a phobia develops. So when you avoid the situation or “trigger”, your mind is rewarded by the anxiety going and your avoidance strengthens this connection in your mind. With hypnosis and NLP (neuro linguistic programming, we are doing the same thing but creating the positive opposite so that when confronted with what used to be your trigger you are calm and relaxed – sometimes fears and phobias have very little to do with the plane, the elevator etc. it is what it represents – loss of control, fear of failure etc. But developing new ways of behaving and stopping the negative self talk, you develop confidence from empowering yourself and no longer being controlled and limited in your life.

Fears and Phobias, Anxiety, Blushing and Hypnosis and NLP

Zita — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:36:04 +0000

Trying to change something about yourself is never easy. The desire for a continued habit and routine is very powerful and some schools of thought suggest that it is more powerful than the survival instinct that each of us possesses. So armed with that information, in the past you may recognise how you self sabotaged any attempts to stop smoking, weight reduction, overcome fears and anxiety, blushing, confidence building. With hypnosis and NLP (neuro linguistic programming) we are re-programming the mind so that the desire and benefit of the positive change far outweighs what you are receiving now from the habit. That is how hypnosis and NLP work in conjunction with your imagination and desire for the change. If you truly do not want to change, then nothing is going to make the change you make stick. The function of NLP is that we create new neural pathways (new ways of re-wiring the brain to promote new thinking and therefore, your reaction changes to one more positive) but it is done by creating a new you that is excited about living with the new, positive change and the knock-on effect this has in your life and those in it.

You can be anything or any way you choose to be, you make the choice. Hypnosis and NLP are tools to enable to make the change and make it stick.

Anxiety, Fear & Phobias and Hypnosis Dublin

Zita — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:24:41 +0000

Anxiety is the anticipation of something happening – your mind is picturing and making assumptions about what could happen. Fear is the body’s response to a stimulus – to enable the body to fight or run away. It is about self preservation. But if anxiety becomes attached to a fear then the fear takes on its own life and in this case, fears and phobias are born. With hypnosis, by accessing the subconscious mind, we can desensitize the fear by lowering and removing the anxiety attached to it. Anxiety is driving the fear. It is about the anticipation or dread of something bad happening. The beauty of hypnosis is that you are naturally reducing anxiety symptoms of racing heart, sweating, dry mouth, clamminess. You are in effect learning to be calm and relaxed. By reducing the anxiety attached to say a fear of dogs, then the fear that was born by one dog and then became a fear of all dogs, goes back to its proper place in your mind – as just a bad experience and be saved in your mind as such. With hypnotherapy we are reframing the experience that caused your fear to develop.

Changing your habits with hypnosis

Zita — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 10:18:56 +0000

During an session with me, one of the checks that must be done is what is called an “ecological check”. You want to change some habit whether it is stop smoking, stop over-eating, lose weight, stop biting nails, overcome fear etc. But are the people in your life ready for you to change. Have you noticed that if lose weight some friends will feel threatened by it to the point of telling you that you look ill or “encourage” you to have more cake. Or for the smoker, trying to tempt you with cigarettes by blowing smoke in your face or leaving you out of conversations. This is something you need to think about and how you feel now that your position within your group changes. Although not everyone will welcome the change, others will delight in your success. You need to ensure that you are strong enough to deal with the “downside” of your positive change. This is peer pressure even in your 30s and 40s. You have dared to be different, to stand up and make a change.

Be strong and brave. There’s a new world out there for a new you. Awareness that not everyone will be delighted with the change will give you strength. You will be tested but you will be strong and delight in your resolve to continue and maintain your change.
