my oh is scared sh*tless of flying. he just cant do it.
im telling him to make an apointment with the dr and ask about being referred for a hypnotist to try and sort him out!

im presuming im right in thinking the dr *could* do this?

anyway, has anyone had this done, does it actually work?!

My FIL had treatment from a hypnotist to conquer his fear of flying. He can now get on a plane whereas before he refused to, but he still tries to avoid it if he can. The inlaws last holiday was a train journey across russia. But he can get on a plane if he needs to using the breathing exercises he was given to do to calm himself down. He still gets scared during the flight. I remember travelling with him to Spain a few years ago, he had his eyes shut the whole time!

I'm having hypnotherapy at the moment for my PND. I've only had one session so far so its too early to say if it works. OH's grandad was a hypnotherapist, and so is his brother.

yes he does breathe very quick when he's gettin gon the plane etc. almost to a state of hyperventilating. i bet breathing exercises would work wonders for him!
