How a Fear of Flying and Other Travel Phobias can be Helped with Hypnotherapy*
We are often aware if someone has a fear of flying as it’s difficult to conceal when there are constant excuses to avoid boarding an aeroplane. A high percentage of people find air travel nerve-wracking, but for many it’s a terrifying experience that becomes impossible to face. This distress can not only ruin the chance of enjoying a more exotic holiday, but it can often leave families separated on the other side of the globe or severely affect the ability to attend important business commitments.
The key to dealing with the problem is in identifying the root cause. Jonathan Conway provides help with hypnotherapy for a fear of flying and other travel phobias at the Conway Practice.* Although a fear of travelling by plane may be connected to a personal experience of an upsetting incident, it can also simply be influenced by watching a film or graphic images in a news report of an incident in the air. This might then remain in the sub-conscious as a ‘what if it happens to me’ statement.
Aviophobia is by no means the only cause of anxiety connected with travel and there are generally recognisable links to other phobias, or conditioned responses such as agoraphobia. For example you may become anxious well before leaving home, due to the fear of being away from where you feel safe. On the other hand, you could find that you have a serious problem with travelling if you are not able to remain in control throughout the journey. Anxiety is likely to set in if you feel trapped and are forced to rely on someone else in the driving seat, whether that may be in a car, train or aeroplane.
Hypnotherapy can help you to take the steps to overcome your anxiety issues connected with travel.* Jonathan will show you relaxation and positive visualisation techniques during hypnosis, a natural and non-invasive form of therapy.* The power of positive thought should widen your horizons and help you to regain your freedom and enjoy your travels.*
