A Comprehensive Guide to Conquering Your Fear of Flying

Conversations about air travel tend to get increasingly more in-depth, relating to favorite airlines, best seats, best plane configuration, best food, best service as well as, of course, best value. All this is well and good, but for some people, it doesn't matter what size the plane is or what standard of service or seating is provided; for these people, any flight fills them with fear.

At its mildest, airplane phobia (also known as "phobie avion" in the French Language) still causes severe discomfort to the person who is in its grips and perhaps to those who are close to them.

If they could just rid themselves of this fear they would be pretty happy on any airline in any seat at all. They just want to be able to fly without incessant worry and deep emotional turmoil.

A person who has not experienced such fear cannot ever really appreciate its impact. Each individual who experiences fear of flying does so in his or her way. The rest of us treat flying in a pretty mundane manner.

For some people, however, this fear means not ever setting foot on an airplane. For others, it means weeks of worry and lack of sleep before a very uncomfortable flight where their every nerve is jangling and every sound makes them leap through the roof. 

An easier option is to use hypnosis to access your subconscious mind. Most people don't think of hypnosis because they don't know what it is or how it works.
