Phobias often have a complexity of various re-emerging fears, resulting in avoidance behaviour. At The Conway Practice during hypnotherapy in Harley Street to manage a fear of flying, Jonathan will explore the origin of your anxiety.* Although friends and family might be aware of your phobic response, they may well consider this to be irrational and believe that you are over-reacting to the situation. Your perception of danger could be related to a past experience, leaving you with the pessimistic perception that when you find yourself in similar circumstances this will inevitably re-occur.
A fear of flying can be a combination of phobias and often includes social anxiety where the stress response is activated whenever you feel out of your comfort zone and uneasy about interacting with others. You will be aware that during the flight you could be sitting amongst strangers who may want to engage with you. The fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time can trigger anxiety, with the belief that you will be under scrutiny for the duration of the flight. An extreme fear of being physically confined with no escape route is related to claustrophobia, resulting in symptoms such as an accelerated heart rate, nausea, sweating and the feeling that you are going to faint. This frequently leads to panic attacks with overwhelming anxiety. These fears can have a negative and inhibitive impact in both your personal and professional life.
However, therapeutic intervention with hypnosis to overcome a travel phobia and related fears will provide support by replacing negative beliefs and behaviour with new coping mechanisms.* Jonathan Conway will help you to navigate the pathway to memories held within your subconscious mind which are associated with triggering the anxiety response.* Calming methods and positive visualisation techniques can be applied, with responsive cues of safety instead of threat and the potential to open up new opportunities and generate personal growth.*
Hypnotherapy is available by appointment with Jonathan at the Conway Practice in Harley Street, or during remote sessions by Zoom, Skype or telephone.*
