Fears and phobias can feel incredibly frustrating.

Logically, you may understand that you are not in immediate danger. But your body may still react as though you are.

This is one of the reasons fears and phobias can feel so difficult to manage. They are not just thoughts. They can involve the whole nervous system: racing thoughts, tension, nausea, panic, avoidance, dread, or a strong urge to escape.

Hypnotherapy offers a gentle way to work with both the mind and body.

Fear of flying can be incredibly frustrating, especially when part of you wants to travel, visit loved ones, go on holiday, or take an important trip — but another part of you feels overwhelmed by the idea of the airport, the plane, the height, the lack of control, turbulence, or feeling trapped.

Hypnotherapy can be a supportive way to work with fear of flying because it helps the mind and body rehearse a different experience before the day arrives.
