How To Overcome Your Fear Of Flying
By Steve Hill
In this article I am going to write about how I managed to overcome my fear and phobia of flying. I hope the information will prove to be an inspiration to others out their who have a similar fear. In a way I have actually turned full circle as I now really enjoying travelling on an aeroplane and only wish I had faced up to my fear and sought help when I was a lot younger.
My family used to always take their holidays in the same country that we live, England. I am not complaining about this however as I used to love spending time on the South coast of England in places such as Cornwall and Devon. Many of my friends would talk about how they had travelled to the Canary Islands or to countries such as Turkey for their summer vacation and about how much of a good time they had had. This did not make me feel jealous in any way and I did not ever feel that I was missing out.
When I was seventeen years of age a few of my friends started to organise a holiday to Spain. I was invited to attend and I have to admit that I really wanted to go. There was only one thing that was stopping me, the fact that I did not want to fly on an aeroplane. I am not really sure as to why I was so scared, I was aware that flying is apparantly the safest form of travel and that millions of people fly each and every day but something inside of me just did not want to do it. I suppose it was the fact that if you have a crash in a car or on a train there is a good chance that you will survive but if the aeroplane crashes you are more than likely going to die. Even if you do survive the air crash it will have no doubt been a very scary experience.
On this year I decided not to go on this holiday to Spain with my friends and pretended that the reason why I was not attending was because I could not afford it.
My friends came back from their holiday with many stories of what had happened and on this occasion I really did feel that I had missed out.
Around a year later a second trip was organised, this time to Corfu. Yet again I was invited and this time stated that I was going to attend. I was now going to attempt to overcome this fear of flying.
I decided to attend hypnosis and am very happy to report that the results were superb. I have to say that on the day of my first flying experience, I was still very nervous but was able to cope with it. I have since travelled all over the world using air travel and am glad I met and sought help from that hypnotherapist.
