Overcome fear of flying & flight anxiety – Online Hypnotherapy
Logically, you know flying is one of the safest ways to travel.
Yet your body reacts as if something dangerous is happening.
That reaction is not weakness.
It is an overactive alarm system in the nervous system — an automatic stress response.
If you feel fear, panic or intense anxiety before or during a flight — despite knowing it is safe — you are not alone. For many people, the body reacts before the mind has a chance to reason.
Online hypnotherapy for fear of flying focuses on regulating the nervous system’s automatic response, so your body can learn to react more calmly — and you can travel without panic.

But tips alone are often not enough.
Because the problem is not lack of willpower.
It is an automatic alarm response in the nervous system.
What is fear of flying?
Fear of flying — sometimes referred to as flying phobia or aviophobia — is a response in which the body’s natural stress and survival system becomes activated in situations that feel threatening, even when they are objectively safe.
It does not mean you are weak or irrational.
It simply means that your nervous system has learned to interpret flying situations as if they were dangerous.
When that learned association is triggered, the body reacts automatically — often before logic has time to step in.
What happens in the body
When certain triggers appear (turbulence, height, feeling enclosed, lack of control), the brain’s threat detection system can activate. The amygdala signals danger, even when no real threat exists.
This can lead to:
-
Increased heart rate
-
Muscle tension
-
Rapid breathing
-
Catastrophic thoughts
-
Panic sensations
The issue is not the aircraft.
It is the strong association between flying and danger that the nervous system has learned.
And learned responses can be updated.

Fear of flying
I had struggled with anxiety around flying and travelling for a long time — even when going on trips with my family.
After being recommended to try hypnotherapy with Camilla, I decided to give it a chance — and today I am very grateful that I did.
After three sessions, I noticed a clear difference. My body reacted more calmly, and I was able to join trips without the same level of stress and worry. Previously, I would almost panic just from starting to pack.
Now I can travel with my boyfriend and truly experience life more fully — without fear taking over.
I’m so glad I found you. Thank you so much.

Fear of flying - finally travelling is easier
The first time I reached out to Camilla was because of my fear of flying. Throughout my 41 years, this fear has caused me anxiety before flights and panic attacks while flying.
Not being in control, and feeling each time I board a plane that “this might be the last thing I do,” was overwhelming. I’d send messages to everyone I loved, feeling the fear building inside me. The first time I flew after hypnotherapy with Camilla, I felt as though the fear was still there, but it was outside of me, and I had control.
For the first time, I had a choice about whether I would let the fear control me or whether I would control the fear. The second time I flew, I was aware of the fear but could even let go of needing control—it didn’t affect me in the same way at all. The best part of all this is that I can now enjoy my trips without dreading the flight home.
Plus, my children no longer have to see or feel that their mom is not in control.
Thank you, Camilla, for helping me feel free and more connected to myself. You are amazing!

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About Fear of Flying
How can I overcome fear of flying?
Fear of flying often involves an automatic stress response. By working with the physiological reaction — not only thoughts — the association between flying and danger can gradually decrease.
What is the difference between fear of flying and flying phobia?
Fear of flying may involve discomfort or worry. Flying phobia (aviophobia) is more intense and may lead to avoidance, panic attacks, or sleep problems before travel. Both involve the same nervous system mechanism.
Does online hypnotherapy for fear of flying really work?
Yes. Since the process relies on focused attention and nervous system regulation, online sessions work well when conducted professionally.
How many sessions are needed?
For specific flight anxiety, 2–3 sessions are often sufficient. If the fear is linked to deeper anxiety or long-term stress patterns, additional sessions may be beneficial
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes. During hypnosis, you remain aware and in control. It is a focused state — not sleep and not unconsciousness.
How quickly will I notice a difference?
Some people experience a shift after the first session. However, most notice clearer changes after session two or three, as the nervous system begins to respond more calmly and consistently.
Can I really fly without panic after hypnotherapy?
The goal is to reduce the automatic stress response so the body reacts more calmly.
Many people report that turbulence feels less threatening and that anxious thoughts lose intensity as the physiological reaction decreases.
Results naturally vary between individuals. However, fear of flying is one of the most common fears people seek help for — and many have successfully returned to flying without panic.
What if I feel very anxious even before booking the flight?
For some people, fear of flying begins long before the actual trip.
In those cases, the work focuses on the early activation in the nervous system — so the stress response begins to decrease already at the thought of travelling.
Can fear of flying be connected to general stress or anxiety?
Yes. Sometimes flight anxiety is part of a broader stress pattern.
If the nervous system is already overloaded, it may react more strongly in situations where control feels limited — such as flying.
How do I prepare for an online hypnotherapy session?
You simply need:
-
A quiet space
-
A stable internet connection
-
A comfortable chair
No prior experience is required. Online hypnotherapy is designed to be comfortable, structured, and effective.
