However, I developed a fear of flying during a particularly bumpy flight in bad weather coming home from Amsterdam. It got much worse after 9/11. I fly when I have to, and I'm always okay. But the anxiety leading up to the trip is horrible. Next time (maybe for RWA national if I get up the nerve) I'll try some self-hypnosis.Wendy S Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590562856819593365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-13895418200420105942010-03-23T14:43:48.184-04:002010-03-23T14:43:48.184-04:00Great post, Ash! :) I get so absorbed in a story, ...Great post, Ash! :) I get so absorbed in a story, whether reading or writing them, that it really is like being hypnotized! :)Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-44642279004769800792010-03-23T13:26:38.953-04:002010-03-23T13:26:38.953-04:00LOL Amelia!

I suspect that the process of becoming engrossed in a story is functionally identical to hypnosis, and fiction writers are drawing on some of the same skills as hypnotherapists.<br /><br />I've never used hypnosis to manage flying because flying doesn't scare me. I'm more afraid I will die of boredom on a long flight than that the plane will crash. <br /><br />But now that I think about it, how I handle flying is by buckling the seatbelt, noting the position of the exits, and making the whole thing disappear from my experience--by diving into a book. It comes down to the same thing, doesn't it?Mary Margrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777940150169201630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-17118056636551209562010-03-23T10:34:50.989-04:002010-03-23T10:34:50.989-04:00Very interesting post!

I don't mind flying, but I've never been on a plane for longer than maybe four hours. :)<br /><br />Now, in April, hubby-man is taking me to Hawaii and I don't know how I'll react to being over water. Time and a fruity umbrella drink will tell! lol<br /><br />You're description reminded me of French Kiss where Meg Ryans' character has her mantra to sing while on the plane. Such a fun movie!
