Fear of Flying Assessment
While this assessment does not provide you with a diagnosis, the results will give you a clear indication the extent to which your anxiety is affecting other areas of your life.
Answer all the questions as openly and honestly as possible to obtain the most accurate results. Please complete all items. On questions that require you to rate your answer on a scale of 1 - 5 Select the answer that best represents your feelings, thoughts and behaviours regarding your experience of flying.
1 = not at all; 2 = a little true; 3 = somewhat true; 4 = very true; 5 = extremely true.
Does the very thought of flying fill you with fear? Do you get that horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach? Your hands get sweaty your heart racing?
Recent research estimates that one in three people suffer stress and anxiety when flying, and there is no doubt fear of flying can be a big handicap, limiting business and personal opportunities.
Fear of flying can affect anyone - children, adults, those who have never travelled by air, even people who are highly experienced travellers, including aircrew.
There are many theories as to the cause. But common to all sufferers is that the fear is deep-seated and not logically argued away.
I approach this problem with a combination of deep relaxation, NLP and hypnotherapy. Phobias such as fear of flying are usually a learnt response to an event in the past. Once we recover relevant memories and reorganise our programmed response, flying ceases to be a source of stress.
Sometimes one session is all that’s needed, with others two or three usually frees them to travel confidently wherever they want to go.
