“We are not afraid of what we think we are afraid of. We are afraid of what we think about it.”
Every day this debilitating fear causes thousands of people here in Ireland unnecessary distress. People will deliberately avoid travelling by air because these feeling are so powerful. They miss out on holidays, family occasions and business opportunities rather than face boarding an aeroplane. They turn down job offers or promotions where air travel would be a part of the job, restricting their lives and careers needlessly. These feelings are more than the average concerns most people would have about airline safety.
“Hi Sean,
I hope you are keeping well!
I wanted to write to you to let know about the first flight I’ve taken since our sessions for my fear of flying!
We finished our sessions in September 2019 and I took my first flight on February 15th 2020 (last Saturday) in the height of Storm Dennis!
Everything about the departure from Dublin was different and everything has changed. By all accounts, this flight should have been the white knuckle ride of my life! I was so relaxed I couldn’t really believe it myself, it has absolutely changed everything!
I cannot thank you enough for your help! Having a fear of flying can feel debilitating at the best of times and I feel like a different person now!
I will recommend you to anyone who wants to listen to me!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!”
Symptoms often include: Shortness of breath, Rapid Breathing, Sweating, Feelings of dread, Panic, Mind racing, Faint feelings.
Is this you?
Many of my clients have, in the past, been prescribed sedative medication to numb their anxieties during and leading up to air travel. Many resort to drinking alcohol heavily to suppress their fear. Drugs don't cure phobias. Medication can be used, but like all anxiety medication, the symptoms return once the medication or alcohol leaves the system.
I use Hypnotherapy and Transformational coaching to offer you a drug free and permanent solution. Regardless of what the fear has attached itself to.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEAR
The root cause of fear of flying varies. In general the memory of a past event that caused a great surge of emotion remains in the subconscious, (This event may have had nothing to do with flying whatsoever) until it is released. For example, you may have got lost in a crowd/accidentally locked in a room as a child or found yourself in a situation where you felt out of control and were very afraid.
“Sean
I’M CURED!!!!
Back now since Thursday, and I have to say I was amazed at how relaxed I was, on the flight to London, then how excited I was on the Jumbo to Orlando, the upper cabin ROCKS. We had turbulence, very little but I have to say I barely even noticed it, great holiday and made much more enjoyable without the anxiety of the flight home hanging over me. The turboprop flight home, was my most enjoyable flight, EVER! I sat there staring out the window and wondering why I’d been so scared for all those years. All I can say is thank you so much for all your help on this, you’ve made a real difference in my life, so again thank you. I will be forever grateful.”

“Hi Sean.
I have spent a number of years at airports waving goodbye to my friends heading off on their holidays without me because I was afraid of flying. What if I got a panic attack???
What if I couldn’t breathe and there wasn’t enough air on the plane how would I get out??. That was my life then. This is my life now. Six months ago a friend suggested that I should contact Sean Flanagan. After a couple of visits to your clinic Sean, I am now on the other side of the world enjoying sandy toes on white beaches and swimming in the Indian ocean. After spending thirteen hours on an airplane, I was very relaxed and enjoyed every minute of the flight and I never felt in a state of panic. I want to say a big thank you for all your help. You are an amazing person and I will never be afraid of flying again.
Thanks Sean.”
“Dear Sean,
I am emailing from the plane where incredibly there is WIFI!! We are 3073 miles & 6 hours 36 mins from NYC, traveling at 956 km per hour and are 9495m high, just past Galway!!!! Have never felt so relaxed or happy in my life. Took a lift in the airport & literally feel on top of the world. Can’t thank you enough for everything. Feel like I’ve cracked it now & my life is changing.
Thanks so much,”
Fear of Flying
Fear of flying can make travel feel overwhelming. Even people who feel confident in other areas of life may avoid holidays, family visits or work trips because the thought of getting on a plane brings intense anxiety.
For some, the worry starts well before the journey. Booking a flight, packing, travelling to the airport or hearing the cabin door close can all trigger distress. Fear may manifest itself as a racing mind, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, sweating, nausea, a sense of dread, panic, feeling faint or blushing.
This can be more than ordinary nervousness about flying. You may know that you want to travel, yet still feel a strong urge to cancel or avoid the situation altogether.
Many of my clients have, in the past, been prescribed sedative medication to numb their anxieties during and leading up to air travel. Others resort to drinking alcohol heavily to suppress their fear. Drugs don't cure phobias. Medication can be used, but like all anxiety medication, the symptoms return once the medication or alcohol leaves the system.
I use hypnotherapy and transformational coaching to help clients explore the thoughts, memories and feelings connected to their fear of flying. The aim is to help you develop a calmer relationship with flying and work towards lasting change, without medication.

Understanding the fear
The root cause of fear of flying varies. In general the memory of a past event that caused a great surge of emotion remains in the subconscious. This event may have had nothing to do with flying whatsoever, but this makes little difference to the mind.
