| An estimated
20-40% of the population experience anxiety whilst flying,
making fear of flying one of the most common phobias. Even
though this anxiety can seem irrational to you, your subconscious
mind may create anxiety as it thinks it is protecting you.
Statistically speaking, flying has been proven
to be one of the safest ways to travel. It is far safer than
driving a car or even crossing the road.
Re-evaluating the reaction your subconscious
mind creates can often help you to control a fear or phobia,
and hypnotherapy can help you to achieve this.
Having a fear of flying can often interfere
with holidays or business travel and lead to an individual
avoiding a career involving travel or a family holiday abroad.
There are many aspects of flying that can
create anxiety, such as fearing the plane will crash, claustrophobia,
being out of control, fear of having a panic attack and fear
of terrorism.
Even being at the airport or boarding a plane
may create anxiety for some people. Fear of flying can therefore
range from mild anxiety before flying, to a state of terror
which can prevent an individual from getting on the plane
or even leaving it once they have boarded.
