“For over twenty years I suffered from a debilitating, exhausting, intense fear of flying. I still don’t know exactly when it started. Because I loved flying as a kid. However, by my mid-twenties I was already turning down opportunities for job interviews. Not visiting friends that I missed and loved. Skipping work conferences. Missing weddings and not saying goodbye to dying loved ones because I was too scared to fly. For over 10 years I did not fly in an aeroplane. At last, I began to force myself to fly but it was a white-knuckle affair every time. I would have full-blown panic attacks on planes. The kind with sweating and ringing in my ears. Stewards often had to sit with me to calm my panic on planes. It was a humiliating and agonizing experience to fly with my family. At the age of 42 was I introduced to Jessica Boston by a mutual friend who told me, “I think she may be able to help you.” Jessica had significantly helped my friend’s husband with his fear of flying. My friend believed she could do the same with me. I went into our first session wary and sceptical of hypnotherapy but willing to try anything. I could tell right away that Jessica was different, and that I was about to experience something new. I could never have predicted how effective her techniques would be though! Although I was fully conscious throughout our session, she was able to bring me to a state of inner connectedness. Here I was able to speak to a level of my own subconscious mind that I did not know existed. After the session I listened frequently to the MP3 she made for me from our time together. I wondered how it would go to fly in real life. About 40 days after my first session, I flew from Spain to the United States. It involved 4 flights, turbulence and witnessing a medical emergency handled onboard one of the aircraft. Through it all, I felt like a changed person! I remained calm, relaxed, and was even able to enjoy the experience of flying. The normal racing heart stayed steady. Believe it or not, I was able to watch movies, read two books, and even take a nap! I knew things had really changed when my daughter said, “Mom, what’s wrong? Normally you seem so scared on aeroplanes but this time you’re acting totally normal!” I’ve now flown 6 times since my first appointment with Jessica Boston and I honestly look forward to air travel at this point. My husband is thrilled and so are my children. At last, we can fly to some of the places we’ve always dreamed of visiting! I continue to work with Jessica now to tackle some of the other issues that come up from time to time. She is insightful and incredibly effective. Thank you so much, Jessica. You’ve changed and dramatically improved the quality of my life!”
