Air and travel phobias

air and travel phobiasAir and travel phobia is a particular form of anxiety that may occur after a person has been involved in some kind of accident, maybe a road rail or air crash. They may have escaped physically unscathed from the incident, however they might well have perceived it as a potential threat to their well being, physical health or indeed life.

Anyone suffering from travel phobias is likely to avoid travelling as much as is possible. If forced to travel by car, they are likely to prefer to be in control of the car, rather than be a passenger.

During the journey they will be perpetually alert, scanning the road for potential accident causing situations.

By the time they arrive at their destination, they are often irritable, tense and exhausted. This only serves to reinforce the phobic response.

Some individuals will refuse to even travel by car, bus or rail despite the drastic upheaval this will cause in their day-to-day lives.

 




This avoidance is one of the reasons phobias are maintained; as the sufferer is not exposed to the situations they fear and therefore cannot come to terms with their air or travel phobias.

Travel Phobia Explained in further detail..

travel phobias picTravel is part of daily life. Not being able to do so is a handicap. That is what some people who have gone through travel-related traumatic experiences suffer.

Travel phobia is medically known as hodophobia. This kind of phobia is associated with some other forms of fear: fear of flying, fear of trains, and for some even fear of driving. Some have the lingering fear of strange places, public places, open spaces, and the inevitable contact with strangers.

A person with travel phobia would try all means to avoid travelling. When compelled to take the car, he would prefer to drive than be a passenger. In that way, he would be in control of the situation. A person with hodophobia would always be on alert when traveling, searching for any signs of potential danger. This anxiety is what makes him irritable, tense, and exhausted after the travel, which is a natural phobic response.

What people don’t know is that this avoidance even reinforces the phobia since the person with travel phobia is not allowed a chance to face what he fears. In this way, it becomes more difficult for him to come to terms with his phobia.
 
What are the physical responses of a person with travel phobia? Most people who fear travel experience inability to breathe, nausea, mouth dryness, heart palpitations, inability to think and speak clearly, lack of control, sensational detachment from reality and a full-blown panic attack when faced with circumstances that would expose them to their fear.

Travel phobia therapies
 
There are several medical therapies that are known to treat hodophobia. These are hypnotherapy, energy psychology, and neuro-linguistic programming.

Hypnotherapy minimizes the symptoms of travel phobia by reprogramming the existing thought patterns that are stored up in your subconscious, which brings about the fear.

Energy psychology is a new method of therapy that is compared to that of acupuncture sans the needles. With energy psychology, a person with travel phobia will experience these benefits: thought patterns change fast, easily changed behaviors, and the person will easily develop skills and techniques that are useful to him for a lifetime.

Neuro-linguistic programming, on the other hand, works by changing the patient’s manner of creating reality.

It proposes that a phobia is a product of negative constructs that don’t work very well. Through NLP, these constructs are recreated or reprogrammed for travel phobia to be minimized.

Travel phobia is a serious impediment to daily life. Every person who suffers from this should be allowed every opportunity for treatment.
