Since when did being hypnotised spare you in a crash?

it's not the flying i'm scared of; it's the falling 30k feet to my death that gives me the jeepers
anyway, some interesting responses here, cheers.

I have been on a plane four times, never again.
I have a fear of spiders, planes i thought i could handle. Been on many in my time, I flew home from my stag do in spain a few years ago, after getting wankered every night to the point of my whole body shaking at the airport I decided I should not touch another drink on the way home. On the flight, we flew above a thunderstorm and all of a sudden the plane dropped horrifically. My in flight snack hit the ceiling and where my friends were all laughing and being drunk, I SHIT myself. It was the last flight I ever went on...

Aircraft don't just fall out of the sky, and even if it did somhow lose its wings or tail which is 1 in millions, you would be unconcious long before you hit anything.
Is it a fear of flying or either anxiety of not being in control or even a fear of death?
as before PM, if you genuinely want to try and resolve it. When people understand more, in general they fear less

see a qualified hypnotherapist. (Not a hypnotist - unless you want to act like a chicken on stage..)
One session should do the trick.

you dont need either, how about just growing a pair, and get on with it.
the way i look at it is, if the fucker crashes your going to die, wearing a life jacket is not going to save you from hitting a mountain. Or if you do manage to land in water you will probably freeze to death in a slow painful way.
so just accept flying as being a normal safe mode of transport or get the train...

I had hypnotherapy but that was trash. The fear of flying book by Keith godfrey as already mentioned (buy on amazon) is great. Still best way is some Diazepam from the gp and some beer! Also the desire to leave these wet miserable summers behind for something warmer. Never minded flying when I was younger but got worse as I got older.

That's a shame, sounds like whoever you saw wasn't a good 'un…
Seriously, a good hypnotherapist WILL sort you out - no problem.

its not the thought of the plane crashing...stats show the odds r very low...its just the confined space which i hate
I have a big fear of flying, or at least I thought I did,
Have tried hypno but no luck, still the fear remains, must have done over 50 flights and only ever gets worse.
Reason I say thought I did is my other fear is being anaesthetised in hospital.
What I've come to realise that it's not being in control that's the real fear, not being able to do anything if something bad happens on a plane and not being able to fight back against the anaesthetic.

I have changed this
I do a lot more flying these days than I used to. I have no fear of flying, I just find it tedious now that the novelty has worn off. The hanging around airports, the sitting bored on planes with nothing to do. It's probably because most of the flying I do is 4-5 hour flights. Not short enough to be quick short haul, but not long enough to get the entertainment systems you get on long haul flights.

I used to take a portable DVD player on those flights. Now I just watch something on the laptop. Must get an ipad.

I have changed this
My laptop's too big to open up properly in most of the seats. Because I have a (not totally irrational) hatred of all things Apple, I'm looking at getting one of the new Samsung tablets. They're similar to an iPad but use the Android OS, which is, in my opinion far superior. It's also open source, meaning a lot more apps end up being available for it.

I don't hate flying, I hate turberlance - it's irrational I know, its far bumpier driving to the airport in the car than it usually is in a plane - I think its the fact that I have no control over.

Don't wait for me!
I'll never go in a plane again, don't care neither. Environmentally wrong and I shit myself from start to end.
