How to Deal with Aviophobia: The Fear of Flying

October 3rd, 2009

Fear prevents us from reaching freedom

Psychiatry has identified three various phobia categories:

Read a few pages of 'Anxiety, Phobias & Panic' on Amazon

Anxiety, Phobias, and Panic

Agoraphobia refers to the fear of spaces that are open. It would also be the fear of getting panic attacks within public places, of losing complete control within areas from which an escape might prove embarrassing or hard.

Social phobia would be an anxiety that is irrational brought about by exposure to particular social situations that leads to behaviors of avoidance.

Specific phobia would be an irrational and persistent fear when responding to several specific stimuli that commonly ends in avoidance of withdrawal out of these stimuli. It might be triggered by animals or insects as in zoophobia, by situations such as being trapped in enclosed spaces as in claustrophobia and it could also be the fear of diseases as in pathophobia.

Hypnosis has been found to be effective in treating phobias. Hypnosis works by desensitising and building esteem of the victim of a phobia with suggestions to his/her subconscious mind. Visiting a hypnotherapist takes a few sessions for full results, but is very expensive. Instead you can try these hypnosis recordings by Steve G. Jones. Each recording is less than 1 hour and it takes some weeks of listening to have complete results.

Fear of flying was known to be widespread, a possibility of affecting around one out of five people, to a certain extent. A lot of sufferers were never able to experience flying before. Other people once flied confidently until unwittingly developing this fear. It could even occur to pilots that are professionally trained.

Fear of flying happens to be a response that is learned. The sole fear babies are born with would be the fear of noises that are loud. At one point, you might have developed this fear, maybe after viewing footage of air disasters on television. Perhaps you have gone through turbulence during flights, or planes were in a position that was holding, circling airports for interminably long periods of time, waiting for landing permission and you start to wonder the amount of fuel that is left.

A lot of people exist who still fly even though they have such fears. They actually imagine being scared before even reaching the time of being afraid. They might have nights without sleep, merely thinking about impending flights that are sometimes just months away.

Within the air, high anxiety symptoms might be experienced like dizziness, palpitations, sweating, nausea, hyperventilation or chest tightness. Fear of fear itself is very common while being scared since you imagine being scared.

Within hopes of controlling fears, some of them might make use of sedatives or alcohol. It would be much healthier to just eat well before each flight, have great reading material, as well as other distractions such as music. Also, stay away from sugar, caffeine and alcohol. Breathing exercises may also be helpful in such situations.

4 Tactics to Beat Anxiety and Stress

September 25th, 2009

Did you ever come across anybody who does not feel like they have some kind of stress in life? The fact is that the majority of people get paralyzed by anxiety and stress.

Without even realizing it, they slowly let stress build within their lives, bit by bit, without noticing the impact it has on their relationships, career, happiness, health and overall lifestyle.

Looking beyond the horizon

Have you ever felt trapped without the chance to actually break free, regardless of how much you try? Have you done everything but give in to life’s pressures, only to find yourself oftentimes drifting through months and months without truly accomplishing anything of essence? Is your past filled with unhappy moments? Do you feel like you can’t truly enjoy any activities even when you get some free time?

Chances would be that negative stress eats at your life. Here are 4 ways for stress reduction:

1. Notice and realize how stress happens to be a type of response people have to life’s occurrences.

This might seem hardly powerful; however, if you end up convincing yourself that you can control your stress responses, you can gain belief and hope that you can truly make some changes in order to lower your life’s stress response.

2. Take some personal time out.

A lot of people take things from us: children, friends, and employers, even the society and the media. It would be tempting to simply give in and then give up pieces of the day that should be yours.

If you give up your personal thinking, personal relaxation, and meditation time, you will not benefit the people around you. Soon, you will give up control and let more stress enter your life, resulting in being much less effective to anything around you.

3. Exercise.

It would not be necessary to immediately turn into exercise fanatics. Too many people think it’s all or nothing. Begin by committing to mornings, lunch hours or evening walks thrice per week for a minimum of forty minutes. If you would rather go to the gym, begin slowly before building up exercise regimes. This will not only benefit your personal image, energy gain and weight loss, but it will also produce chemicals within your brain, which can help in overcoming stress.

Workoutz provides you with free workout videos to plan your home/outdoor exercise regime and sells simple exercise equipment. These videos instruct you on how to do various exercises targeted at different parts of the body and can be downloaded into you iPod.

4. Turn more self-aware.

Oftentimes, whenever we feel highly stressed, we tend to also feel like we have completely lost our identities. In fact, losing sense of what happens to be truly essential to use would be a huge factor in preventing people from getting out of hopelessness and overall feelings of stress.

Meditation and yoga are highly powerful tactics which are both easy to learn and could lead to significant changes inside and outside to change life’s stress balance.
