Fear of Flying -- Hypnosis Can Really Help!

<h1>Fear of Flying -- Hypnosis Can Really Help!</h1>Author: <a title="Peter James Field" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/peter-james-field/73738.htm">Peter James Field</a> Whenever I fly, I usually have no difficulty in spotting those anxious fellow travellers who are suffering from a real fear of taking an airplane and being airborne. Their nervous expressions and shaky appearance soon tells me that they are experiencing a very real fear of flying. Fear of flying is indeed a very common <a href="http://www.peterfieldhypnotherapy.co.uk/fear_phobia_help_treatment_hypnotherapy.html">phobia</a>. Next to the fear of speaking in public and the fear of spiders, it is the most common phobia in both the UK and in the US today. In our rational, conscious mind, of course, we may be only too well aware that flying is the safest means of public transport in existence. In terms of accidents and fatalities, it is much, much safer than driving, for example. The Federal Aviation Authority has researched and reviewed the accident rate for the past few years and, according to them, you would have to take one flight a day for the next 22,000 years in order to be the casualty of a crash in a commercial airplane. These, surely, are pretty impressive odds in anyone's book! The problem is, of course, that fear of flying - in common with all phobias - is not based in logic or rationality. It is a learned fear and, as such, it is generated by the subconscious mind. Fear, after all, is a feeling and feelings really have little to do with the analytical and rational, conscious mind. They are driven by the subconscious, feeling mind. This explains why it is so very difficult to simply use logic and willpower to order them away. The good news, of course, is that since this fear is learned - the fear of loud noises (startle reflex) and of falling (parachute reflex) are the only fears we are actually born with - then it can be un-learned. Of course, CDs are freely available which claim to rid you of the fear of flying and some of these might be partially useful in temporarily easing this fear to a certain degree. They can assist in producing limited feelings of greater relaxation. But, such strategies work only at the symptom level, by attempting to 'suggest' away the fear, leaving the actual cause of the problem untouched. And, in my professional experience, as long as the cause - the 'driver' - of the fear is left untreated, then it will find a way to surface, to persist. Real and effective treatment for fear of flying need not be lengthy and it is a surprisingly simple process. Usually, this phobia can be treated and cleared in as little as two sessions of effective transformational hypnotherapy. The word 'effective' is key here, of course -- because of lack of proper training, many 'hypnotherapists' really do not know how to clear this phobia. There is no real reason for you or anyone to hang on to this truly debilitating, intensely restricting fear. There is no need to continue to suffer when taking, or thinking about taking an airplane. In the hands of a fully trained, experienced transformational hypnotherapist, you can be rid of this handicapping fear and returned to your natural ability to travel and fly with ease.
