Fear of Flying
Hypnosis for fear of flying
Overcome your fear of flying
Fear of flying, flying phobia or aviophobia is one of the most common fears or phobias; in fact, about 1 in 5 people suffer from flying phobia at some level. For some people it is a distinct phobia in itself, and for others it can be a combination of other phobias, such as a fear of heights (acrophobia) or a fear of enclosed spaces (claustrophobia).
Just because the fear of flying is common, this does not mean that it should be ignored or minimised if you experience such a phobia. The fear of flying can become a major block to travelling and living life to the full in a global world where most people travel extensively for both business and pleasure. If you find yourself unduly anxious at the thought of getting on a plane, hypnotherapy can help you easily overcome flying phobia and has been clinically proven to be a very effective treatment.
Key statistics
One in six individuals experience a significant fear that prevents them from flying. ​
The prevalence is notably higher among younger Australians, with 59% of those under 30 reporting a fear of flying. ​
Approximately one in five regular flyers resort to alcohol or prescription drugs to manage their in-flight anxiety. ​
Overcoming the fear of flying or flying phobia is not permanently achieved by managing fear or anxiety because by doing this you are simply telling yourself that the ‘bad feeling’ is still there and may take over at any time. A more successful and easier way of overcoming the fear of flying is to remove the fear and anxiety altogether by using a combination of NLP and hypnotherapy.
Using hypnosis, patients are able to confront and overcome their anxiety and fear of flying in a safe clinical environment. At Brisbane Hypnosis Clinic our hypnotherapists have been helping clients overcome flying phobias for more than 25 years, and we have the experience and expertise to help you fly as comfortably and confidently as possible using hypnotherapy, NLP and creative visualisation.

Hypnotherapy for overcoming fear of flying
We all know at a logical level that flying is statistically the safest method of travel, but for some of us, anxiety takes over at the thought of boarding a plane. This is an automatic and emotional response which, like all fears and phobias, is triggered by the subconscious mind. Because this response is not logical, no amount of logic successfully overcomes a fear of flying.
However, hypnotherapy for fear of flying addresses the subconscious mind, the part of the mind that produces anxiety, fear and panic, and can be used to make flying seem uneventful or even pleasurable again.
If you experience a fear of flying, you can enjoy travel, whether for work or pleasure; simply give us a call at Brisbane Hypnosis Clinic, and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you have about hypnotherapy, the fear of flying and how you can confidently overcome this anxiety.
