Fear of Flying Hypnosis

By Shanat Kuphur

Fear of flying is related to a fear related of being on an air plane. In medical terms it is referred as aerophobia, avoiphobia or aviatophobia. Fear of flying is a phobia itself, or it can be a condition related to other phobias. Orson Welles quoted that there can only two feelings for a person boarding a flight one is boredom and other is terror. Well the people who are not fearful of flying will agree that flying may be a boredom process. Others may find flying a terrifying experience. Statistics say that travelling by air is around 29 percent safe than using auto mobiles. Despite such a huge ratio people are still scared to fly. They think that they might meet with an accident or the plane might get hijacked.

We might think that fear of flying is a normal problem no doubt there are chances where an accident might happen. Another reason why people fear flying is that the plane is not in their control, we are flying in the air and one mistake by the pilot causes us to give up our life. People who have a fear of flying every time think of what is going to happen next rather than actually seeing the real issue. Pilots are trained professionals who have the capacity to control emergency situations as best as humanly possible. Strange noises during a flight, plane shaking a bit, plane kept on hold for landing are the problems which occur almost each day. The causes of fear of flying could also be related to the fear of height. In some cases it is observed that a person has only a problem flying in nights or flying over the oceans. Symptoms observed for a person who has fear of flying are distress or distraction every other minute. The most common symptom is a person may have panic attacks or vomiting as soon as the flight takes off.

Just imagine you are supposed to go to visit your loved in an emergency situation, which is the fastest mode of transport available? You cannot have any other alternative but to fly. Suppose if your boss tells you that you have to go a certain state for a presentation, if the presentation is good enough you will be getting a promotion. The only thing stopping you is the fear of flying.

The next question arising in your tricky mind is how can you overcome the fear of flying? A most advanced technique and safest one is hypnosis. Hypnosis will help you in overcoming all fears in your mind. For the treatment you need not pay heavy bills or wait for an appointment from a doctor. Hypnosis is a self help process where you can heal yourself without taking help from someone. There are a lot of mp3 or videos available on the internet. All you need to do is just download them and go through all sessions covered by it. Soon, within a matter of few hypnosis sessions you will be ready to fly high like a bird.

So many people are afraid to fly. Some believe this is due to the fear of falling. This fear is a real innate human fear - in fact when little babies are born there are really no noticeable innate tendencies that they know. When baby horses are born they instinctively know to get up and run. Dolphin babies start swimming with in minutes. Human babies as soon as they can see they are afraid of heights. It has been documented that if you put a baby on a glass table they are scared, so being afraid to fall is innate.

So flying in a small airplane and being afraid to fly are definitely real human fears, but they need not be and they are completely conquerable. If you are afraid of flying, they there are many ways to get over this. Simply go take a free flying course out at your local airport. Most have introductory flights for around $100.00 and they are really easy on first timers. Be sure to tell them of your fears of flying and to be very careful your first time up.

Once you are airborne and talking to the flight instructor and understand a little more about how flying and aircraft work you will see that flying is really nothing to be afraid of in fact it is very exhilarating to fly. Sometimes people get hooked on only one flight and sign up for flying lessons thus they turn their fears into fun and a new skill. As a pilot myself it is often hard to believe that anyone would be afraid to fly, until you think about the little babies and their fears of falling and then you understand it is perfectly natural to be afraid. But it is way more fun to conquer that fear than to leave your feet on the ground and miss the beautiful view. Think on this; “clear prop!”

There are a few fears in life that defy logic. Fear of spiders may be one, fear of lifts is another, and perhaps a fear of flying is another. Everyday, thousands of planes take off around the world, carrying millions of passengers safely to their destination. Flying is one of the safest, if not the safest, form of travel available. It is far safer than getting in the car, yet over one third of the population still report a fear of flying.

People cite many concerns when they talk of their fear of flying. Many report a lack of confidence in the air traffic control system and fear that a simple mistake on the ground can lead to disaster in the air. Then there are fears of faults with the plane itself. Most people saw the pictures of the concord crash a few years ago and when you’re sitting on an airplane, a few feet from the massive jet engines humming steadily, it seems very hard to believe that nothing could go wrong with such a machine. In fact the very shape and appearance of airplanes does little to inspire confidence in passengers who already are having doubts about the airworthiness of the plane.

Then there are the reports and press attention of the troubles of deep vein thrombosis.

The fact of the matter however, is that flying is extremely safe. It is one of the wonders of technology that air travel, with all the multitude of potential failures, keep delivering flight after flight, on time and without a hitch. In fact, in contrast to almost all other forms of travel, air travel is becoming safer and safer every year.

The statistics speak for themselves. Do you know what the chances are of having a single fatality on a flight? Well according to the BBC, it is 1 in 16 million. And in the vast majority of accidents where there are fatalities, more than half of the other passengers survive. What this means is that even if you defy all the odds and are on one of the few unlucky flights that does crash, you are still more likely to survive than die in the accident.

However, there is one issue with air travel that the statistics don’t commend so highly. Delays, lost luggage and missing flights are still frequent issues that plague passengers. Luckily, all of these can be covered for with some good, comprehensive travel insurance.

Of the top ten worst phobias people have the number three in the list is the fear of flying. Even though flying is twenty-nine times safer than driving an automobile over 40% of people have aviophobia or aerophobia, the fear of flying. This phobia or fear is one of many anxiety disorders many of us have. Anxiety does not become a disorder until it becomes excessive or irrational. When it causes you to not be able to handle every day conditions; for example, if your work requires you to fly for a business trip and the anxiety from that causes you to no longer be able to function at work, then your anxiety has possibly become an anxiety disorder. The fear of flying itself is sometimes brought on due to other phobias we have. We may not be scared of the plane or the flying itself but may be afraid of being in the air.

Many are scared of closed places (claustrophobia), heights (acrophobia), or crowds of people (agoraphobia). All of these things are present during flight causing many to have anxiety about flying. Many people are scared of flying due to the fact they feel trapped and cannot alter things such as opening the window if they feel stuffy. In an airplane there are many things we cannot control and the loss of that control causes anxiety in itself.

Here in the United States many of us began to fear flying after the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center buildings. We now have the added fear of what if that happens again and it happens on my plane. While it is not likely it does not make us feel any more secure that it will not happen. We have seen what can happen and that alone is enough to keep us on the ground.

Some are scared of flying simply because of airplane crashes they have witnessed on the news or fictional television programs. Other times it is due to a family member or friend being injured in a plane wreck. Many times just a person close to someone dying can cause a person to be scared of flying simply because they are afraid they may be the next die. They end up scared of flying because they have developed the fear of dying or necrophobia.

Through all of this we must keep in mind that aviophobia and any other phobia for that matter is a psychological condition. There are many ways in which we can learn to cope with our fear of flying including realizing you have the fear and then challenging it. This may not work for you. You may need something different such as simply more facts or statistics on why flying is safer than driving or the fact that it is just safe in general. Some of us just need to see proof that flying isn’t as bad as we imagine.

Fear of flying is a phobia that keeps people from getting onto airplanes and heading where they need to be. It is something that can afflict a person for many years and usually there is no rhyme or reason to why it impacts a certain person. It is simply a mental block that keeps people from rationally thinking about flying in an airplane. This can be a particularly devastating problem for people who are in business, as flying across the world has become a very important part of the business landscape. Maybe you need to head across the ocean to close a business deal. Maybe you must travel a long distance to see a sick family member. Whatever the case may be, it is always nice to have the option of flying.

Fear of flying is a common thing. In fact, many people suffer from anxiety when it comes to flying in an airplane. The problem occurs when that bit of anxiety turns into a lot of anxiety and you can no longer function while flying in an airplane. At that point, fear can occur when a person goes to get on a plane or it might even cause them to stay home. This is something that can be fixed, but it takes some mental conditioning. It takes a change in thinking in order to achieve the goal of chasing away the fear of flying.

Like with most mental problems, it is easy to get rid of the problem if you can change your thinking. A complete change in mindset about flying and airplanes is something that can be achieved through hypnosis. As a practicing hypnotherapist, I have seen my share of people overcome different mentally based problems. Things like smoking, alcoholism, and gambling addiction can be cured with hypnosis and so can a fear of flying.

Many people think that hypnotherapy is simply something you see out on a stage in Las Vegas. This is short changing the process a whole lot. Though it might seem like magic, hypnosis is actually a mental treatment that enables people to calm down and let good thoughts replace those ill thoughts. You would be surprised with the number of things that hypnosis can cure. If you are struggling with fear of flying and you see no other solution to cure this fear, then consider hypnosis. Get all of the information that you can find and make a decision about whether hypnosis is right for you.

Imagine this weird situation: you’re cruising in a top of the line jumbo jet then all of a sudden, you freak out and scare the heck out of the people in the jet. You’re going crazy and you’re sweating like a pig because you want to go off the plane, not later but now. But the problem here is that you’re a thousand feet above ground and you can’t do anything about it. This is one peculiarly detailed example of an irrational fear of flying.

There are a lot of things that affect our day-to-day life. Yes we can sweat and tremble when we see a dog in all its salivating glory. Yes we may freak out when we look down from a fifty story building, but these are normal.

The fear of flying is a certain fear that could prove to be the stumbling block of your career. I mean, when a person works he sometimes gets assigned to places that only a plane can reach. With the fear of flying vividly painted in your mind, you wont’ get anywhere. This can also be crucial to your social life, for some friends need a little catching up to do and when they’re miles apart, the plane is the only way to go.

The question that lies is that, “Do you want to forever live a life shrouded by the pains of the fear of flying?” Certainly not, right? There are certain ways that you can use to organize your seemingly chaotic psyche; one of these is through facing the fear. When you fear something irrational, the key is to face that fear and realize how stupid you’ve become through the years.

The fear of flying is one disorder a person should really get rid of. Get rid of the fear of flying most especially because it will ruin the simple things in life. Note that these simple things are usually one of the most breathtaking ones. Plane rides are beautiful rides that take you to elevations you can only dream of, for the people with this disorder, to places you can only have a nightmare of. Kidding aside, when you have faced and understood the fear of flying, you can soar higher than an eagle.

Get rid of this winged phobia. Get rid of the fear of flying and live a better, happier life, lesser fears, and more smiles.

Sometimes people suffer from a level of anxiety so high when up in the air, that they simply cannot function. When anxiety over flying gets to that point, it becomes fear of flying. Especially for people in business, commercial air flight has become a part of the landscape. Business men and women are being asked to travel all over the shrinking world to close jobs and work on business deals. If you cannot fly because of a high level of anxiety, then you are at a marked disadvantage in this business world. Fear of flying is really just a mental block that you can overcome. It takes a little bit of work, though.

Does the thought of heading up into the sky make your skin crawl? Are you overcome with a healthy dose of anxiety each time you sit in an airplane? If this is the case, then you have a fear of flying. This is not at all uncommon, though. People all over the world suffer from this common phobia. Fear of flying generally comes from preconceived notions about flying that have been developed and never changed. If they are left unattended, you will probably never be able to board an airplane to head across the ocean. As mentioned, this can really handcuff those folks who need to fly for business or family reasons.

Since fear of flying is a mental condition, you will have to have a serious change in thinking in order to get over the fear. Though it isn’t easy to shake a phobia like fear of flying, it is possible if you get the right treatment. One such treatment that I have found to be successful in stopping fear of flying is hypnotherapy. In my years as a practicing hypnotherapist, I have treated people for a bunch of common mental ailments. I have helped people get over their smoking, their drug addictions, and their gambling addiction. Fear of flying is no different than those things.

Hypnosis is a serious thing for serious problems. It is a treatment that can help people get over some of the most serious problems that they face in everyday life. Though many people don’t consider hypnosis when they are discussing their options for different problems, it is worth considering. If you have problems with flying, then get some information on hypnotherapy. It could be the best decision that you have ever made.
