Have you ever been afraid of flying on an airplane? If so, you're not alone. The fear of flying, called Aerophobia, is among the most common phobias that people can have. This phobia is often a debilitating, overwhelming feeling. It may even keep you from using air transportation; traveling the globe, or seeing the ones you love. Overcoming such a fear used to take long years of treatment, but now there are hypnotherapy and NLP techniques to work against phobias for rapid, life-improving results.
Do you wonder exactly what a phobia is? Phobias are categorized as a form of anxiety disorder, and many people who have them can suffer from panic attacks and other symptoms such as shakiness, physical illness, or an increased heart rate. Several sufferers report feeling nauseous or losing their self-control, and arrange their lives around their phobia in an effort to avoid their fears.
For those suffering from a fear of flying, even the mere thought of boarding an airplane can trigger symptoms of an anxiety attack. Other sufferers may feel only a little nervous while the plane is grounded, but grow hysterical once the aircraft is in the air.
Picture a scenario in which a woman suffering from Aerophobia is sitting on an airplane before takeoff. She begins to feel nervous and her heart begins to pound. She knows flying is safe, but she is afraid nonetheless. When the plane is off the ground, she cannot help but sob uncontrollably, and continues to weep during the trip until she can finally get off the plane. Although it may sound extreme, this type of reaction is shared by a surprisingly high amount of people.
Phobias are distinguished by extreme, irrational fear. People with Aerophobia are afraid of flying although they realize that flying is actually a very safe form of transportation. They may feel ashamed when they respond by crying, shivering, or having a panic attack, but feel powerless to control themselves. For many sufferers, this fear of humiliation is as daunting as the fear of flying itself.
In actuality, phobia sufferers cannot control their response because their fears are rooted at an unconscious level, which no amount of conscious effort or willpower can change. This is where hypnotherapy is effective. Ericksonian hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques work in the unconscious mind to effectively beat phobias.
An excellent hypnotherapy program for treating a phobia contains several comprehensive steps. Step one is hypnosis therapy for stress-relief, quelling anxiety and tension. Once a person is relaxed and stress-free, hypnotherapy forms new thoughts in the unconscious mind to extinguish the fear. NLP itself treats fears by exclusively pinpointing the thought process that causes a phobia.
Instead of conventional hypnosis, which utilizes direct post-hypnotic suggestions, Ericksonian hypnotherapy uses indirect suggestions in conversation to convince the unconscious mind to follow a new, more reasonable line of thought. It is more effective than traditional hypnosis therapy because people usually reject direct post-hypnotic suggestions, but find it difficult to resist indirect suggestions that are present in engaging stories and metaphors.
The exact wording of post-hypnotic suggestions in conventional hypnotherapy means that most traditional hypnosis programs will only work for one phobia. A great feature of the Ericksonian hypnotherapy and NLP program is that it's not phobia specific and can extinguish any phobia, in anyone. It will work for most people because the program is composed of several different hypnosis techniques assembled for highest effectiveness.
The most useful phobia busting NLP technique that I have practiced is called the Visual - Kinesthetic Disassociation. The V/K is often called the "one session phobia cure," and with good reason!
The combined Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP program is perfect for the independent thinker who wishes to quickly beat an irrational fear once and for all. People can go through the step-by-step process at their own personal pace, but are typically amazed at the ease with which they complete the process and beat their fears. The results people see with hypnosis often seem simply miraculous.
Hypnotherapy and NLP are amazing tools for many people struggling with fear. Ericksonian hypnotic therapy and NLP have helped countless people overcome their fears. The techniques are remarkable for helping individuals who are afraid of flying to experience flying and all of its advantages. For years, hypnotherapy has been able to enhance lives across the globe, and beating phobias is just one of the ways in which it changes lives.
