Have you still
got a holiday to look forward to this year?
Left right and
centre it seems people are packing their suitcases and jetting off for a much
needed dose of sun and sand.
However, there
are many people who come to dread holiday season.
A fear of
flying is becoming more and more commonplace these days, as long distance
travel becomes easier and more accessible. I have spoken to people who say they
are so frightened of flying they can’t sleep the night before they fly, and
become a nuisance to other passengers with their nervous behaviour.
I have had
reports of people spending a small fortune on dubious sounding ‘quick fix’
courses, sleeping tablets to take during the flight, and even missing their
holiday altogether out of fear.
Hypnotherapy
is an ideal solution to help people overcome their fear of flying. There is
nothing unusual or magic about it, really! People are placed into a state of
deep relaxation, where they can help themselves to focus and think about a
situation that would normally cause fear or anxiety.
This method
allows people to face their fear of flying safely, while still in
control-people have told me hypnotherapy is a much better option than taking
strong medications with side effects, or simply trying to ‘grin and bear it.’ On
the day of their flight.
The number of
hypnotherapy sessions needed can vary depending on the person, and the level of
their phobia. I have seen people have just one session and be able to board a
plane the week after with no worries, while for others it can take further
sessions until they can face a flight.
If you are
interested in finding out how hypnotherapy can help you face your fears, don’t
hesitate to drop me a line on my email address or browse my website.
