FEAR OF FLYING
Of course everyone is different and will have different thoughts and feelings about
flying. Some people believe that the wings will fall off, or that the plane will
run out of fuel. Others feel sick, a long time before flying, to being in total panic
arriving at the airport. The thought of suffocating, feeling trapped, claustrophobia
and many other worst case scenarios that can be thought of will create fear and total
panic.
Building confidence and self-esteem is much easier than one thinks, certainly in
hypnosis one learns far quicker and easier. Using the ability of your own thoughts
to feel really great about flying anywhere, anytime which of course increases each
time that person fly's in the future.
CBT of one or two sessions and a CD can be of great benefit. Other people who have
panic and other psychological problems may need the use of CBT to break-up the habit
and obtain better ways of thinking and feeling.
BUILDING CONFIDENCE WITH THERAPY.
Fear and panic are acute states of arousal that occur repeatedly and unexpectedly
which can have some of the following symptoms:-
Difficult rapid or laboured breathing, palpitations, chest pains, choking or smothering
sensations, dizziness, fainting fear of dying, fear of mental illness, or of impending
doom, hot / cold flushes, hot / cold clammy hands, tingling / burning sensations,
trembling / shaking, sweating, unrealistic feelings.
Most people with a panic disorder feel anxious about the possibility of having another
panic attack.
A panic disorder can progress to produce a phobia due to avoiding a situation that
they think will cause a panic, including agoraphobia where panic is felt in crowded
places, shops, and when flying. Even the thought of flying on holiday or a business
trip can create anxiety.
This problem responds well to cognitive behavioural therapy.
