Hypnotism for fear of flying

Does it really work for deep seeded issues like fear of flying?

My boyfriend is terrified of flying and it's getting worse. Now he's saying he wants to catch a cruise ship to go overseas to US or UK -- and we're in Australia -- so that's a long fucking trip!

I'm praying hypnotism may "cure" his fears!

    i think it can work for a person if they "believe" it can work. i would say for some that it would not work.

    as far as the cruise ship, fuck that a whole bunch , my ex made me watch Titantic waaaayyy to many times!! : )
    Peace, Love.

    It's possible it could work for him Zig.

    I had hypnotherapy for my fear of confined spaces. It kinda worked. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Didn't realise that was the message pit shrink. :D

    I saw an "actual" shrink, for quite some time, at great expense and I guess the outcome is I can be in confined spaces for longer but they still freak me out! :o

    Many yrs ago my stepfather studied hypnotism and helped 2 people quit smoking!
    As for the fear of flying, I wish there was someone that could do hypnotism for that! I have that also. That is a long cruise ship though! I can relate, I took a train from Fla to NY! That ride was so long it made me want to get over my fear though! :D

    Zig do you have a psychologist you can go to?

    I think some of the airlines have a program for fearful flyers. I'm sure I saw it on the telly at some point. Might be worth ringing around see?

    Bugger going on a boat, you'd be travelling FOREVER! Sardine class on the plane takes long enough!
    NOPE!!!

    I'm looking at a few in the yellow pages now. There are only 3 and one has a much better, professional looking website than the others. Still not really sure what to look for though!

    Is this a psych you mean?

    They might be able to help particularly with a specialty like hypnotherapy. That'd be what you want I think, a clinical hypnotherapist. The other thing is your gp might be able to refer to someone.

    Or there's these guys.
