How Hypnotherapy in Harley Street Helps With Travel Phobias*
If you find that you are overly anxious at the thought of having to go somewhere that is outside of your ‘comfort zone’, you may be among many who struggle to cope with a travel phobia. Even those whose work compels them to live life on the road can experience periods when they become stressed simply at the thought of the journey ahead.
This can be extremely stressful and self-limiting, taking control of your life. However, you should be aware that you don’t need to accept this and help is available for all forms of travel anxiety with hypnotherapy at the Conway Practice in Harley Street*.
Travel phobias tend to share common root causes and in fact may be a combination of phobias. A fear of flying for instance, may be linked to control; being afraid of not being in control and unable to get off the plane when you choose to, or losing control in front of others if you are in a state of panic. You may feel that you are ‘trapped’ there for the duration of the journey. This can also relate to a train, bus or car journey when you aren’t at the wheel and are reliant on someone else who is possibly a stranger, to get you to your destination safely.
These phobias can frequently be traced back to upsetting incidents in the past which remain lodged as negative thoughts deep in your sub-conscious and create a pattern that now leads to a fearful phobic response. A disaster movie or media coverage showing any accidents involving travel can often trigger a negative association with travelling, even though you haven’t been personally involved and you become overly concerned with what ‘might happen’.
If your fear of flying or other travel phobias has been causing anxiety and stress, you will know just how debilitating this can be, affecting not only your personal relationships but also your work life.
During relaxed hypnotherapy sessions, Jonathan will guide you through positive visualisation techniques*. Your irrational fears will be uncovered*,eliminating your conditioned response to the stimulus*, whatever that may be. This might prove to have developed from a specific activity of incident way back in the past that you may not even be aware of, having repressed the conscious memory of the event.
Through hypnosis in Harley Street you will learn how to deal with your phobia positively and understand there is no longer a threat*. Fear will be replaced with self-confidence and a feeling of calm, leaving you with a well-balanced coping strategy*.
