Fear of Flying Reviews

” For 46 years on never travelling abroad with a fear of flying, getting on a boat, I finally decided it was time to do something about it.

I contacted Alan and booked my appointment, I honestly didn’t think it was going to work as my fear was too huge.

So I got the Hypnosis and didn’t feel a change in myself until I had the urge to go to the travel agents and book our holiday that I always talked of.

We went to Paris for a few days and on the plane I hadn’t a care in the world. The fear was completely gone and I was in a comfortable relaxed state the entire flight. I couldn’t believe I was finally in Paris.

Since then we have went to Florida with the family , and even bumpy landings and delayed sitting on the plane before take off.

People were stressing and worried and I was so laid back and relaxed!

I’m glad to say my fear has gone and I’m planning to start seeing the world (after another return trip to Florida)

Thank you so much Alan it’s thanks to you this is possible :)…..Jackie……. “

” Hey!

Well I made it to Spain – and I have never had a more relaxing and enjoyable flight!

Thank you so much for all your help.

I’m heading off to Northumbria University tomorrow – and I feel great as I know I will be able to fly with no fear….From L…… “

“Hello Alan,

I just thought I would get in touch to thank you for all of your help in getting me over my fear of flying.

It had been 25 years since my last flight ( only 13 years old at the time ) when I called in with you to see if you could help me out.

At that stage I thought I was a lost cause and was destined for long ferry journeys the rest of my life, but four Hypnotherapy sessions later I was a lot more relaxed and settled on the idea of getting on a plane !

The flight itself did not really go to plan as there was a 7 1/2 hour delay thanks to the Iceland Volcanic dust cloud ( we were due to fly out of the International Airport at 6.30 pm, we departed at 2.00 am )

But I was relaxed the whole time in the airport which my wife could not believe considering the circumstances !! No problems at all once we got onto the plane either, my wife could not get over me constantly leaning over her to look out the window !

The take off and landing were no problems what so ever.

Unfortunately our flight home two days later had been cancelled thanks to our friend the volcanic dust cloud again so we had to get a lift to the ferry port at Liverpool and I was totally gutted that I could not fly home ( which was amazing after 25 years of sheer panic about flying.

Everyone I know told me I could fly for another 50 years and not encounter the problems I had with delays and cancellations but it was still a breeze with your help and hypnotherapy sessions.

Once again , Thank you !!! Regards Ronan…..”

” Hi Alan,

I MADE IT ! Sorry I ever doubted you.

It’s been a dream come true to make it to Australia and I coped with the flights better than I’d ever hoped.

Thank you so much – Joanne ………..”

“Alan

I can’t believe it, made it to Venice.

Flight was fine, even managed to look out the window.

Thank you for all your help and at least I can have my special 25th wedding anniversary.

Before I could only dream.

Now it is a reality.

Anne Mc……………..”

“I did it and can’t believe it. I just settled myself and relaxed.

When I first went to you there was no way I was going on a plane.

But Alan I DID IT and all thanks to you!”

“Hi Alan,

I can’t thank you enough. I’ve just had my first holiday with a flight in 7 years.

I can say that with all honesty I had some nervous times coming up to the holiday.

With the help of the CD’s and most of all self hypnosis these were soon settled. The Palma flight was delayed for 1 hour , which meant all the flying time would be in darkness. Even when I liked to fly I didn’t like flying in the dark.

As I boarded the plane at Belfast International Airport I felt good, but the really testing time for me was the closing of the aircraft doors. Any other time at this stage I would have been in a really bad way with fear.

As the plane taxied towards the runway I could not believe how calm I felt, this in itself gave me a major boost.

As we took off I looked at C…. my wife, and gave her a big smile and told her I felt great.

She also felt great, because usually by now I’d be gripping her hand with vice grip tightness. I had my mini disc with me which I had copied your CD’s onto (just as a standby), but the cabin crew announced during the safety talk that no electronic equipment was permitted during take off.

I still had my back up anyway, the self hypnosis. I used it a couple of times – not that I had problems but I just wanted to top up.

The flight lasted 2 hours 15 minutes, on arrival at Palma airport I felt fantastic and I got C….. to take this photo of me in my seat on the plane.

As you can see by my smile I was so pleased with myself. It’s been a long time since I felt like that getting off a plane. I had a great week and never once worried about the return flight.

I’m home now and cant wait to go on holiday again.

The last flight I had was November 2001 from Belfast to Birmingham, we had gone there for a weekend break. I was really frightened even though the flight was a smooth one.

I could not make myself board the plane for the flight home, and had to arrange a coach and boat for the return trip to Belfast. Booking the holiday to Majorca was a big step for me , and I could not have done it without your help.

I was the target of a few friendly jokes from my work mates when they heard I had gone for Hypnotherapy, but I can say now that I had the last laugh.

Alan once again thanks from both of us. C……….”

“Hi Alan,

I am having a wonderful time in Paris. The flight was really good.

It was very stormy when we took off but I was able to relax myself so much that I was totally in control throughout the flight.

Thank you so much. Pauleen”

“Made it to Australia.

Tape was wonderful, really helped.

Thanks a lot. Angela”

“Hi Alan, The flight over was much better than I would normally expect thanks to you.

“Hi Alan, Greetings from Niagara Falls and Canada.

The 7 hour flight was a doddle- the plane was huge.

Thought you would get a laugh from this card, that’s me on the front in case I go over the edge !!

Thanks for everything Alan without your help I wouldn’t be here. Vanessa.”

“Alan, Thanks for all the help and support- I would not have been able to cope without it.

The Hypnosis has worked wonders and I feel confident that I will be able to fly again whenever I want to.

Thanks again. Jennifer

“Got here OK Alan, and flights were all great.

He listened to his tape and was quite content.

Many thanks. John.”

“Dear Alan, Well here I am in Florida .

Been there , done that and deserve the medal. Thanks D.”

“Well Alan, I done it and can’t believe it.

A bit afraid when the plane took off. I just settled my self and relaxed.

” Alan , Thanks very much for the last CD . I felt really better after hearing it.

We arrived on Monday morning at 4.00am. The weather is really hot.

Its impossible to even walk on the sand.

Because you are not here to shout at me for saying it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Best wishes Marilyn.”

“Dear Alan ,A short note to say a BIG THANK YOU for making me feel relaxed and confident enough to undertake a plane journey a couple of weeks ago.

I never foresaw myself actually going and although I still felt a slight apprehension, I could control my fear and thanks to you I had a brilliant holiday.

My CD has now become my personal bible.

Thank you again. Dolores.”

“Dear Alan, I just wanted to send you this postcard to let you know how much you helped me.

I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday in New York and was having too much fun to post this from the states, therefore had to post it from home!

I didn’t think about my anxiety at all and am getting ready to plan my next holiday.

Thanks SO SO SO MUCH. Shauna.”

My confidence is growing stronger. Jacqueline.”

Will be in touch with a couple of photos when we get back. C. “
