What Are Some Causes That Lead To A Fear Of Flying?

What Are Some Causes That Lead To A Fear Of Flying?
By Bobi MacKenzie


Bad experiences can cause flying phobias, anxiety or fears. There are many different paths that lead to developing a phobia or fear towards something. A phobia towards a specific action or object in life can be caused by any number of things in your regular routine or by something spontaneously happening to or around you.

People that have a phobia with flying may have developed the phobia simply by taking a flight on an airplane that for some reason had a lot of turbulence. There are a lot of reasons a plane might encounter turbulence. Usually there is more turbulence at night. Weather also comes into play. Storms can bring high winds or there may have been a lot of harmless air pockets in the high altitude during that flight. Turbulence can be a normal part of flying, but it can also scare people into thinking something can go wrong and in turn cause them to acquire a phobia toward flying in the future.

It has even been proven that a phobia for flying can be caused by events that took place before, during, and after a specific flight on an airplane. Some examples could be; a fight with a spouse or loved one; a death in the family, perhaps the plane had some minor complications during the flight; an illness came about- even a bad sinus infection that causes pain on the flight can trigger severe emotional trauma. Any of these may cause a person to relate these undesirable accounts with flying and develop a phobia for flying.

If a person becomes ill or upset at the time of a flight they may remember being ill and blame it on the flight or think it had something to do with food on the flight or perhaps something they drank at the time. They may think if they go on another flight they could get sick again.

Phobias for the fear of flying can be treated or even cured. People can visit with a doctor or specialist and work to find out what the specific trigger causing their phobia is to figure out a way to either deal with it or get rid of the phobia all together. Another suggestion comes from hypnosis or retraining your mind to overcome the fear. In my ebook I have offered several different methods you can work on this to help you eliminate your fears for good.

People can get medications from a doctor to suppress their fears or phobias to be able to fly. They can also use some different techniques to try to get rid of their phobia. People can prepare themselves and make things comfortable so before their flight they are in a very happy and relaxed mood. If your phobia is cause by a specific event or moment in your life you may be able to reverse the feelings causing the phobia by doing the exact opposite of the event or moment in your life. Also you may feel better by listening to some other people who enjoy or have had good experiences with flying.
