Fear Of Flying
When does a little bit of worry about getting on a plane turn into a full-blown phobia?
Travelling is an exciting time. Many of us will feel a few butterflies as we travel to the airport and wait eagerly for our plane to deliver us safely to our destination.
However, for some, the fear of flying can grow to an extent that it actually stops them doing it.
A phobia occurs when our minds develop a fear template..and the more we think about that fear…the more the template is established. We become hyper-vigilant to flying and therefore we become drawn into any bad news posted about flying…anywhere in the world. Our brains put us into fight/flight mode anytime we think about booking that flight…making it a big no-no.
But what if you really do want to go on holiday with your loved ones, but your phobia gets in the way? What if you’ve booked a great holiday with the family but you are now terrified about whether or not you’ll be able to do it?
Well then, it is time to do something about it!
Hypnosis can help you to rationalise that phobia template and allow you to book that flight, and yes…actually enjoy it!
How does it work?
We will work together across four sessions which can be taken either online using Zoom or in person in Haworth, West Yorkshire.
Here’s how the session format will look:
Session 1
We will talk through what has been going on for you in terms of your flying phobia, how it makes you feel, what it is getting in the way of plus getting a base understanding of other stressors in your life. I will explain how your mind works and why you are feeling these frustrating symptoms and I’ll send you away with a hypnosis MP3 to start listening to at each evening at home.
Session 2
During this session you will enjoy your first full hypnosis session. We will work on reducing your general stress and anxiety level and get you in the correct frame of mind for the phobia work that we are doing.
Session 3
During this session we will work on neutralising any traumatic memory that you may have of flying or travelling. We will rationalise that incorrect template of fear. This is quite a deep session of mindset work and you may be quite tired following the session.
Session 4
For your final session, we will create a new, more positive template for your mind. See yourself feeling calm and relaxed as you sit back on that plane and rest your eyes, ready for a wonderful holiday to come.
Session 5 (optional)
If you’re next flight is some time away…we will repeat session 4 the week before your flight.
“Hi Sharon, I’d just like to say, I made it! Never did I ever think I would fly again and thanks to you I had the best holiday ever in Orlando Disney. Not once was I worried or stressing about flying and we are now looking into our next holiday abroad. I can’t thank you enough, I couldn’t believe what the name of the plane was – it was meant to be – it was called The Fearless Lady!”
