Wave: up & away with hypnotherapy

Overcome a fear of flying with hypnotherapist Jonathan Conway

A holiday abroad to a dream destination can be hindered if the thought of boarding an aeroplane fills you with anxiety.

If your summer holiday is approaching, hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistic-programming (NLP) can help you overcome your fear, so you can have the holiday of a lifetime, without the stress of getting to your destination. What’s important to remember is that fear of flying is a learned response, meaning it can be overcome. Hypnotherapy will ‘retrain’ the brain so flying is no longer regarded as an impossible or extremely difficult task.

“Hypnotherapy is suitable if you are very fearful of flying and if the body is being triggered into physiological responses: an increase in heart rate, rapid breathing, excessive sweating , nausea and a general feeling of being out of control,” says NLP coach and hypnotherapist Jonathan Conway. “Some people find flying uncomfortable while others cannot go near an airport!”

For a fear of flying to be overcome, it is necessary to understand the underlying causes, which can often be based on an earlier life experience. NLP and Time Line Therapy can be useful to understand where the problem started.

“Hypnotherapy helps a person to gain more control,” Jonathan explains. “It can be helpful to use visualisation to help a person to be more in control, so they reach the destination feeling calm and relaxed.”

Hypnotherapy can be carried out at any time, but Jonathan suggests treatment a month before flying. Two to four sessions would usually be sufficient in overcoming the fear, and hypnosis is suitable for all ages, from the young to the elderly.
