Hypnotherapy Q&As

Does hypnosis work for a fear of flying?

Yes. Under hypnosis you rehearse the whole journey, from packing to landing, in a calm and relaxed state, so the real flight feels familiar.

Before the trip

For many people the fear starts weeks ahead. Sessions work on that anticipatory anxiety, on take-off, turbulence and landing, on feeling closed in, and on where the fear began.

Clients often tell Tim the flight felt familiar by the time they took it.

Timing

Ideally start a few weeks before you fly, so there's time to practise self-hypnosis, but get in touch even if your flight is sooner. Tell Tim the date and the sessions are planned around it.
