While friends or family are looking forward to their holiday flight, you may already feel anxious about the journey. A fear of flying is a common phobia, and often rooted in subconscious triggers that heighten anxiety before and during a flight. These triggers stem from past experiences, learned behaviours, and deep-seated emotional associations, many of which you may not even be fully aware of. Hypnotherapy in Brighton to overcome a fear of flying can be found at The Conway Practice.*
One major subconscious trigger is a past traumatic experience. A turbulent flight, a distressing airport experience, or even hearing about aviation accidents in the news can plant a deep fear in the mind, reinforcing the belief that flying will be dangerous. Even if the event wasn’t personally distressing, the subconscious mind may associate flying with danger, creating heightened anxiety. Therapeutic intervention with hypnosis for a fear of flying will help you to understand and address the origins of your fear, enabling you to manage the triggers with new coping mechanisms, including relaxation methods and positive visualisation techniques.*
Another common trigger is a fear of loss of control. Many people with a flying phobia struggle with the idea that they are entrusting their safety to a pilot and crew. This lack of control activates the brain’s survival instincts, resulting in hyper-awareness of every small sound or movement in the aircraft.
Claustrophobia and confinement can also be subconscious prompts. The tight space, locked doors, and inability to leave at will can create an overwhelming sense of panic. Even if you don’t generally experience claustrophobia, the prolonged confinement of a flight can trigger underlying anxieties.
Hypnotherapy is a safe and deeply relaxing experience, where you will remain completely in control throughout the session, similar to a daydream state.* Jonathan Conway has 30 years of professional experience as a Hypnotherapist.
