Can Hypnosis Cure Fear of Flying?

A fear of flying (also known as aviophobia) is a fear of being on an airplane. It is one of the most common phobias, affecting up to 25% of people. A fear of flying can be debilitating, making it difficult or impossible to travel by plane. In addition, the fear of flying can cause significant anxiety and distress. The fear is so severe that it prevents them from flying altogether for some people. If you fear flying, you may experience symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, shortness of
breath, sweating, nausea, and dizziness.

 

What causes fear of flying?

There are many possible causes of a fear of flying. It may be caused by a traumatic event, such
as a bad experience on an airplane. It may also result from a fear of heights or claustrophobia (a
fear of enclosed spaces). Some other factors that could trigger fear of flying include:

Turbulence: Many people are afraid of flying because of turbulence. While it can be unsettling,
it is not dangerous. The airplane is designed to withstand turbulence, and there is no need to
worry.

The possibility of a crash: Although airplane crashes are rare, the fear of one happening is real
for some people. Also, news of plane crashes from any part of the world can cause people to
develop a fear of flying.

Not being in control: Some people feel safer on the ground because they feel like they have
more control over their environment. This can be especially true for those who have a fear of
heights.

Fear of taking off and landing: According to some people’s thinking, these are the times when
an airplane is most likely to crash. The sensation of taking off and landing can be uncomfortable
for some people.

Terrorism: The events of 9/11 have made flying a more anxiety-provoking experience for many
people. The fear of terrorism is a real concern for some people when travelling by airplane.

Being Far from Home: This is one of the most common reasons people fear flying. When you
are on an airplane, you are thousands of miles from home and your loved ones. This can be a
very frightening prospect for some people.
