The fear of flying (aviaphobia) is not necessarily as straight forward as it is sometimes thought to be. It can be caused by many different underlying problems. For example:

·       Fear of death (thanotophobia) 

·       Fear of confined spaces (claustrophobia)

·                  Fear of being locked in an enclosed place (cleithrophobia)

·       Fear of crowds (agoraphobia)

·       Fear of clouds (nephophobia)

·       Fear of accidents (dystychiphobia)

·       Perhaps as a result of being in any kind of an accident

·       Knowing someone who has been in a plane accident

·       Flying after a recent plane crash

However, the fear of flying is a learned fear and what we can learn

we can unlearn.

Hypnosis is very often successful because of its ability to access the unconscious mind, the seat of all our knowledge, and uncover the underlying cause of this life limiting problem.

Of course, it is not possible to say that nothing could ever happen during a flight, but it is the safest form of travel and therefore the probability of something happening is extremely unlikely. We successfully use probability every day, when we make any kind of future based statements, such as:

• When we say we will see someone later
• I’ll call you tomorrow
• I’m going away this week end
• I’ll be on holiday next month, etc.

Of course, we do not know this to be fact, but based on previous experience we assume it to be the case.

Statistically cars and motorbikes are far more dangerous. Yet, most people would not give up driving if they were involved in a car/motorbike accident (or knew someone who was). So, from this we can reasonably assume the fear of flying to be out of context with the risk, or at the very least, an irrational fear, very often, not based on actual experience. Put in context, flying is one of the most safe and wonderful things that has happened to the human race. It has enabled us to visit places previously not possible (within the context of a 2 or 3 week vacation). It is by far the cheapest form of travel (cent's per mile). It enables us to see our beautiful planet from an aspect not possible by any other means. It has expanded the travel industry and employs millions of people world wide. It has bought wealth and prosperity to countries and nations all over the globe. Yet, it brings down upon they who fear it the most uncontrollable fear and abject terror.

This natural and safe method of effecting change in a person’s life is one of the rewarding benefits of being human.
