A phobia is an intense, irrational fear of a specific object, situation, or activity. Unlike general anxiety, phobias are linked to triggers and can cause overwhelming distress which can manifest in various ways, including:
• Physical Symptoms:
o Rapid heartbeat
o Shortness of breath
o Sweating
o Trembling or shaking
o Dizziness or light-headedness
o Nausea
• Emotional Symptoms:
o Intense fear or panic
o Overwhelming worry or an intense fear
o Feeling out of control
o Avoidance behaviour
• Cognitive Symptoms:
o Racing thoughts
o Difficulty concentrating
o Catastrophic thinking
Phobias are not just excessive worries; they can lead to panic attacks and avoidance behaviours that significantly disrupt daily life.
Fear of Flying
Aerophobia is one of the most common phobias among the 500 known phobias.
Are you struggling with the fear of flying or experiencing flight anxiety? You're not alone. Many people experience intense apprehension at the thought of boarding an airplane.
Fear of flying, also known as aerophobia, is a common phobia that can stem from various factors, including:
• Fear of heights (Acrophobia)
• Fear of enclosed spaces (Claustrophobia)
• Previous traumatic flight experiences
• Lack of control during the flight
• Turbulence and unexpected events
This fear can significantly impact your life, limiting your travel options and causing stress and anxiety.
How Hypnotherapy Can Help
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that taps into the subconscious mind, where phobias are deeply rooted. Through guided relaxation and focused attention, hypnotherapy helps you access the subconscious mind to reframe negative thought patterns and change the emotional response to your phobia.
1. Identify Root Causes: Hypnotherapy can uncover the underlying reasons for your phobia, often buried in past experiences.
2. Desensitization: Gradually reduce the emotional intensity associated with your phobia.
3. Empowerment: Equip you with mental tools and strategies to face your fears confidently.
4. Relaxation Techniques: Learn effective relaxation methods to manage anxiety and stress.

Feedback from a clients: “I was terrified by an upcoming long-haul flight as many news articles described horrible experiences related to sudden turbulence, resulting in injuries and even death of passengers happening a lot lately. Session with Nelly helped me to calm down and switch from anxiety to my normal routine. Flying to and back from my destination went way better than expected. While being on board I was even wondering how I could have worried so much. I recommend working with Nelly to everyone who is experience fear of flying!”
