The feelings of panic are familiar to you. When do they start? When you book a flight, pack, get to the airport, board the plane? Everyone is different and the feelings of anxiety will occur at different stages but what is common is the out of control feelings, the nausea, the sweaty palms, the palpitations, the anxiety – all occur to varying degrees. Some of you, no doubt, will have used alcohol, drugs (prescription and/or recreational) to cure the problem but nothing helps. In fact, you may have to deal with the feelings of a hang-over, disorientation and general unwellness. What is happening is that you recognise there is a problem and now perhaps the things you used to self medicate begins earlier and earlies and so you are enjoying less and less of your holidays. Holidays can be stressful enough (delayed flights, perhaps tired children etc) without having the added anxiety of a fear of flying.
Hypnosis helps by showing you how to control the panic attack/anxiety/unease so that you “learn” to become more relaxed when flying. Loss of control is a common thread – if you are on a boat and it starts to sink, you can swim to safety (whether or not you can swim is irrelevant to your subconscious mind!) but what happens with flying? Part of the hypnotic process is to allay your fears and to relinquish the part of you that likes to be in control so that you learn to trust the engineers, pilots etc who work behind the scenes to ensure your safety. Pilots undergo rigourous checks every 6 months to ensure they ability to pilot a plane. There are aviation rules to ensure your safety.
While your subconscious mind accepts that there are rules for your safety, then we turn to your inner turmoil – reversing the feelings. You will experience the feelings of panic/anxiety/unease that you normall feel – this is necessary to prove to yourself that hey, I can manage and reverse these feelings. It is a process and you will find the each flight gets a little bit easier for you so that you can, dare I say it, look forward to flying!
Why suffer and ruin holidays or work travel for yourself? Hypnosis is a marvellous tool and can help you to overcome the feelings that you so that you regain control of you.
Your emotions are not who you are, they are a component that you control so take control of your flying anxiety (hypnosis makes it easier) and make flying a pleasure for you. As mentioned, you cannot do this for others you have to want to make the change.
Good luck and here’s to overcoming your fear of flying with hypnosis and relaxed flying. Isn’t that worth wanting?
