For many, aerophobia isn't about crashing; it's about being trapped and losing autonomy for hours on end. This feeling is utterly consuming: a rush of heat, the frantic urge to escape, and the feeling that the air is thin and the walls are closing in.
This intense emotional reaction is compounded by tight seats, lack of air, and the overwhelming feeling that you cannot escape when your nervous system spikes.
For you, perhaps this means that claustrophobia, the intense fear of enclosed spaces, is running alongside your fear of flying?
The Claustrophobia Trap: EFT Tapping Script for Airplane for Feeling Confined
This realization validates your complex suffering: aerophobia often exists alongside claustrophobia and the fear of a panic attack itself (panic disorder). When these fears collide, they create a powerful, paralyzing emotional loop.
The physical symptom of being trapped (the tightness in your chest or throat) is intensely real, and it deserves a true, immediate solution.

Phobias Compounded: When Two Fears Collide
The Tapping Protocol: Creating Mental Space
This solution focuses on neutralizing the suffocating feeling of being closed in by creating internal, mental space and engaging your relaxation response. For example:
Setup: Begin by tapping with the fingers of one hand on the the Karate Chop point (the fleshy part of the other hand between the little finger and wrist) three times while repeating this phrase out aloud (or quietly under your breath): "Even though I feel completely trapped in this small space and I want to escape, I deeply and completely accept myself."
Sequence, and tapping round: Next proceed to tap gently with your fingers through the following tapping points (eyebrow, side of eye, under the eye, under nose, under chin, collarbone and top of the head) while acknowledging the physical symptoms of confinement. Select one of these phrases that feels most appropriate to your current situation, such as: "This feeling of being restricted," "This claustrophobic feeling" or "I can't get out," and repeat the phrase out aloud (or under your breath) while tapping all the points.
You can follow this up with a reframe that creates internal space, such as: "I choose to create space in my mind," and "I am safe and secure right here."
Repeat as many tapping rounds (from eyebrow to top of head) of these short statements as necessary until you feel more relaxed and calm. You'll probably notice yourself yawning or sighing out aloud as your nervous system begins to regulate, and calm.

When Claustrophobia is Tied to Trauma - Targeted Relief:
If your claustrophobia is severe and triggered a deep-seated fear that restricts your daily life, the simple Flying with Confidence & Ease guide may be insufficient. The solution needs to address the unique, hidden trigger that a general tapping script misses. This depth requires a more precise approach, with expert facilitation.
For example, Queen Camilla of the British Royal Family, needed specialized tapping interventions to help her overcome her aerophobia, which is well documented in her biography. With professional assistance she successfully conquered her aerophobia, and was able to continue her professional duties, travelling alongside King Charles.

Here are two EFT Tapping options for your consideration to help you deal with your flying related claustrophobia.
Sometimes, claustrophobia can have way deeper routes - well beyond the fear of flying, which you may not yet be aware of. This is not the failure of the tapping script - it's simply means the tapping script wording provided in the guidebook isn't fully aligned with your specific needs.
A generalized EFT Tapping script may not clear that specific emotional residue you experienced because the trigger is somewhat more complex, nuanced or perhaps deeply rooted in a past trauma. This is precisely why we provide EFT Tapping scripts that are tailormade for one's specific needs, memories or past events:
Customized Tapping Script
If your fear is anchored to a unique experience such as claustrophobia, consider getting a Custom Tapping script created for that specific memory or event.
This custom order contains FOUR unique scripts, a tapping point diagram and guidelines.
Invest in Final Freedom
You don't have to be limited by two separate fears - fear of flying and claustrophobia. EFT Tapping works by safely addressing the core fear response, giving you the power to choose calm over panic.
Here's the second option for your consideration, and personal empowerment ... EFT Tapping is the perfect tool for safely addressing the core fear response because it bypasses panic and engages your nervous system's capacity for calm.
Tapping provides a sense of personal power over the physical symptoms of fear, even when it feels like you have no control over claustrophobia.
If you're ready to make that shift to being a confident traveler, and you're seeking permanent freedom and relief from all your flying fears and claustrophobia, consider booking a 1:1 EFT Tapping Online Coaching call.

Bridget has been a pillar of my transformation .... She was able to hold a safe space for me to open up, feel and express my thoughts and emotions freely. I have experienced deep
emotional release through her sessions. I’m grateful.
- Peter, Nairobi Kenya
I can highly recommend Bridget for EFT therapy. She has developed a truly unique approach where she personalises the session to the needs of the client, and is incredibly perceptive in getting to the root of the problem. Bridget has an amazing understanding of the mind body connection, and how suppressed emotions and old programming can manifest in a variety of physical and mental conditions. She is able to adapt her technique to provide a warm and supportive healing environment for all sorts of issues, and through her tapping technique provides a safe space where she is quickly able to help the client work at a subconscious level to shift energy, process old trauma and address deep seated ongoing negative belief systems in such a short space of time.
Bridget is a fantastic EFT therapist for clients looking for immediate yet lasting results.
- Dr Kate, Medical Doctor, South Africa
My solo flight from Boise to LAX was relaxed and uneventful - no anxiety or panic attacks. I even slept well the night before, which is unusual. Upon arrival in LAX the bus was delayed by several hours, which didn't faze me - in fact, made some new friends and hung out together waiting for the bus - it was fun!! Thank you for ALL your help Bridget - never thought travelling could be fun!!!
- Amanda, Boise Idaho.
Bridget helped dissolve an old fear of flying I'd had since childhood. Wished I'd met her decades ago because I would have done so much travelling, and seen the world instead of being trapped by anxiety, panic and this ridiculous flying fear. Working with her was SO easy ... she has a knack of getting to the root cause, and doesn't miss a beat, noticing minor reflexes I didn't know were holding me back. Excited about my newfound freedom.
