Many people face fear of flying or fear of traveling by air as a constant problem. Up till now there was no known cure to fear of flying – also known as aviophobia in medical terms. But now hypnotherapy can deal with this problem by subjecting the patient to some psychological stimulus and changing his viewpoint on flying altogether. Statistics show that every one in eight person suffers from aviophobia. It is also common in young children. It is mainly a state of mind where you are unconsciously reminded of air travel as being not safe. However, in reality traveling by automobile is far more dangerous than traveling by air. Hypnotherapy makes use of hypnosis to treat fears and some other common problems. Hypnosis is a state of mind where a person becomes more open to suggestions and more aware of the choices he has. The patient goes in a state close to sleeping but he is not actually sleeping. Then the therapist asks some questions or tells the person there is nothing to worry about and that air travel is safer than road travel until the patient agrees to everything. There are exercises to learn about airplanes, how to control anxiety, and how to gain self-confidence in order to overcome the fear of flying. As a last exercise the patient is asked to take an actual flight tour. In this exercise he is judged as to how successful the therapy went if there’s a need for further hypnosis treatment or not. Many people are still doubtful of the success of hypnotherapy but they will be surprised once they go through the procedure themselves. It’s an easy cure for people who have long given up the idea of being perfectly well. So don’t waste time, if you suffer from fear of flying or fear of anything in general, hypnotherapy might be the solution for you! |
