Fear of Flying
You would love to travel far, and you would rather not spend endless hours driving to your holiday destination.
Perhaps you travel a great deal for work. And yet the mere thought of boarding a plane, let alone taking off in one, sends panic rising in you.
You feel confined and at the mercy of the situation, because you have no control over it.
That is why many people who suffer from a fear of flying only get through the flight with strong sedatives.
The fear begins long before take-off
For most people it does not start at the gate but weeks earlier. At the booking. At a glance at the calendar.
Then comes the night before, when you barely sleep. The packing with a hollow stomach. The journey to the airport.
And at some point you cancel flying altogether. You drive twelve hours instead, or turn down the long-haul trip you actually wanted.
This is where the fear of flying becomes expensive — not on the plane, but in what you do not do because of it.
Why facts do not help
You know that flying is statistically safer than driving. Perhaps you have watched documentaries about turbulence and understood all of it.
It changed nothing. That is not laziness of thought; it is because the fear does not arise in the mind.
Your subconscious has classified the situation as threatening: no way out, no control, strangers deciding. Numbers do not reach that level.
How life coaching with hypnosis helps
LIFE COACHING with HYPNOSIS offers you the chance to widen the radius of your life and to see an aeroplane as an ordinary means of transport.
We look at where it began
Often there is a single flight with heavy turbulence at the start of it. Sometimes something quite different: a loss of control elsewhere that transferred itself onto flying.
Once that is recognised, it loses its power over the present.
Your body experiences the flight in advance — calmly
In hypnosis you go through the whole sequence inwardly: check-in, boarding, take-off, turbulence, landing. This time composed.
Your subconscious does not sharply separate what is lived from what is vividly imagined. It stores this new experience.
You are given something to take with you
You learn a short anchor for your seat. Something nobody notices and that works within seconds when unease rises.
In this way you will travel relaxed to distant shores, get to know new countries and people, or keep business appointments without stress.
How it works
The first session lasts 90 minutes and costs 130 euros. It leaves time for your story, for setting your goal, and already for a hypnosis.
Each further session costs 90 euros for 60 minutes. All details are on my price list.

Frequently asked questions
How long before the flight should I come?
It is most comfortable if there are two to four weeks between the session and the flight. Then you experience even the anticipation differently.
A great deal can be achieved at short notice too. If the flight is in a few days, simply call — we will find an appointment.
I currently take sedatives. What happens to those?
That is decided by you and your doctor, not by me. Please never stop prescribed medication on your own initiative.
Many clients find that they no longer need them after working on the fear. That is an outcome, not a goal I set for you.
