   What happens on a fear of flying course?

   Do fear of flying courses work?

   

   If you have a fear of flying it can really stop you from living the life that you want.  Apart from stopping you enjoying holidays in the sunshine, it can even mean that you are unable to perform a job that requires foreign travel.

   As a hypnotherapist I see many people with a fear of flying and helping them on a one to one basis can really change your life for the better.

   The good news is that if you learnt a fear, then you can unlearn it. With a little bit of help you can let go and enjoy that time on a plane, rather than being gripped by worry.

   One of the interesting things that I encounter is that many people have already been on fear of flying courses with major airlines and found that they didn’t really work for them. When they come and visit me they see that the one to one help is exactly what they needed rather than being in a group setting.

   Of course there is nothing wrong with these course, and for some people they are the right choice. However, would you rather have a more personal approach to help?

   So, if you are thinking of a fear of flying course, what can you expect and how does it compare to visiting me and having hypnotherapy, or even having Skype hypnotherapy sessions if you are not local to my practice?

   

   How does a fear of flying course work?

   Many of the airlines provide courses which can help you with a flying phobia.  British Airways provide one of the most popular as do Virgin airways and Easyjet. Their confidence inspiring ideas could really help you.

   How much does a fear of flying course cost?

   You may be surprised to find that if you want a private course to help you with British Airways it will cost just under three thousand pounds. This does include a couple of flights on scheduled trips of course. Typically these courses can cost between three hundred and eight hundred pounds. These would be group sessions.

   Whilst there is nothing wrong with working in a group, my experience is that working with an individual and tailoring the work you do to them and their own experience and fears can really help. With people seeing me for hypnotherapy sessions on average for 3-6 sessions it can cost about half as much as a fear of flying course and you even get recordings of work that we do to listen to at home, or on a plane in the future if you wish.

   If you are looking for a course then make sure you read up on what it entails and pick the right one for you.

2. Can Hypnotherapy help with a fear of water?

   Hypnosis for fear of deep water

   Can Hypnotherapy help with a fear of water?

   

   Have you ever found yourself out of your depth in water? You perhaps tried to put your feet down and realised that the water was deeper than you thought. Now feelings of panic start to run through you as you imagine that the water is so deep that you just don’t know what to do. One of the most common fears and phobias that I am asked for help with is a fear of deep water.

   What can I do to help me with my fear of water?

   If you want to be able to swim in a swimming pool, or in the sea on holiday without fear and simply enjoy the experience you may be surprised to hear that overcoming your fear is easier than you may have first thought.

   I actually see more people for nerves, stress and anxiety and all the issues that this raises because of fears and phobias than you may realise. Any fear can get worse and as one of deep water is much more common that you may realise, this means it is easier to get rid of than you may imagine. You are not alone..

   Any fear or phobia is something you have learned. This means if you learned it, you can unlearn it.

   On average people have 3-4 sessions and many see things could be different after the first session. I also record any sessions that we do so that you have something to listen to in between and this really helps. Of course the number of sessions depends on what it is we are working on.  

   Often one incident can trigger a situation that just gets worse. I see so many people who had one bad experience and found that it has stuck with them. Once we get you past that sticking block you can let go and enjoy being in the water and relaxing.

   I use a combination of techniques including hypnotherapy, EFT, EMDR and many others. I see many people who have tried other therapies and found they did not work for them. You can read about the alternatives here... http://www.markpowlett.co.uk/cbtandcounsellingvshypnotherapy.html
