If you’ve ever been afraid of getting on a plane, you aren’t alone. The fear of flying, called Aerophobia, is among the most common fears that people experience. This fear is often a crippling, overwhelming feeling. It can even prevent you from conducting business; traveling the globe, or visiting far-off loved ones. Overcoming such a phobia used to take years of therapy, but today there are hypnosis and NLP techniques to eliminate phobias for rapid, life-changing results.

Do you wonder what defines a phobia? Phobias are considered a type of anxiety disorder, and many people who have them will suffer from panic attacks and other undesirable symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, or an increased heart rate. Several sufferers report feeling unwell or losing their ability to control themselves, and organize their lives around their phobia to try to evade their fears.

For sufferers with Aerophobia, even the mere thought of boarding a plane might trigger symptoms of a panic attack. Other sufferers might feel only slightly nervous while the plane is grounded, but grow hysterical once the aircraft takes off.

Picture a scenario in which a lady suffering from Aerophobia is sitting on an airplane before takeoff. She begins to feel anxious and her heart begins to race. She knows it is safe to fly, but she is afraid nonetheless. When the airplane takes off, she cannot help but cry uncontrollably, and continues to sob throughout the trip until she can finally get off the airplane. Although it may sound extreme, this type of response is common to a very high amount of people.

Phobias are distinguished by extreme, illogical fear. Those with Aerophobia are afraid of flying even when they realize that flying is really a very safe form of transportation. They may feel ashamed when they react with crying, shaking, or having an anxiety attack, but feel unable to control themselves. For many people, this fear of losing control is as daunting as the fear of flying itself.

In actuality, phobia sufferers can’t control their behavior because their fears are based in the unconscious mind, which no amount of willpower or conscious effort can change. This is where hypnosis is effective. Ericksonian hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques function at the unconscious level of the mind to effectively eliminate phobias.


A good hypnotherapy program for eliminating a phobia has several comprehensive steps. Step one uses hypnotherapy for stress-relief, relieving worries and anxieties. Once you feel relaxed and stress-free, hypnotherapy forms new thoughts in the unconscious mind to eliminate the phobia. NLP itself treats fears by exclusively targeting the thought process that causes a phobia.

Unlike conventional hypnosis, which utilizes direct post-hypnotic suggestions, Ericksonian hypnotherapy uses indirect suggestions hidden in discussion to persuade the unconscious mind to adopt a new, more reasonable line of thought. It works better than conventional hypnotherapy because people often ignore straightforward post-hypnotic hints, but find it difficult to resist indirect suggestions that are concealed in interesting stories and metaphors.

The exact phrasing of post-hypnotic inductions in conventional hypnotherapy means that several conventional hypnosis programs will only be effective to treat a particular given phobia. A notable feature of an Ericksonian hypnotherapy and NLP program is that it’s not phobia specific and will work on any phobia, in anyone. It works for most people because the system is made up of several different hypnosis techniques assembled for highest effectiveness.

The most effective phobia busting NLP technique that I have studied is called the Visual – Kinesthetic Disassociation. The V/K is often known as the “one session phobia cure,” and with excellent reason!

The combined Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP program is perfect for the independent thinker who wishes to beat an illogical phobia once and for all. People can go through the step-by-step process at their own individual pace, but are often surprised at the ease with which they finish the process and overcome their phobia. The results people see with hypnosis often seem simply phenomenal.

Hypnotherapy and NLP are life-changing tools for many people battling phobias. Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP have helped countless people overcome their fears. The techniques are remarkable for helping individuals who are afraid of flying to take pleasure in airplane travel and all of its perks. For a long time, hypnotherapy has been able to change lives all over the globe, and eliminating fears is just one of the ways in which it helps people.
