The noise problem ... the two most mechanically intense phases of flight are full of unfamiliar, loud noises - the whine of the engines, the sound of the flaps deploying, and the loud thunk of the landing gear.
For the novice and or nervous flyer, this noise is immediately interpreted as mechanical failure or danger. It sounds aggressive, unfamiliar, and entirely outside of your control.
Fear of Takeoff and Landing Tapping Script: Calming Loud Engine & Gear Noises
The sudden, aggressive change in engine pitch or the loud thunk of the landing gear is an auditory spike that immediately triggers the Amygdala's fight-or-flight response, regardless of the actual safety of the plane. Because this is an auditory and neurological trigger, facts about aircraft integrity alone won't stop the panic. You need to use a physical tool to separate the sound from the fear.

The Science of Sound: Noise-Induced Panic
The Tapping Script: Mechanical Calming Sequence
This script focuses on separating these sounds from the danger, and managing the auditory overwhelm.
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 that loud engine noise is making my stomach drop, I deeply and completely accept myself and choose to hear safety."
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 noise itself. Select one of these phrases that feels most appropriate to your current situation, such as: "This loud, aggressive sound," and, or "This panic spike, I'm choosing to calm."
You can follow up with these reframes: "The sound is normal," "The landing gear is working exactly as designed," and "I am safe as the plane's mechanics unfold."
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 the Trigger is a Single Sound: Targeted Relief
For some, the anxiety is hyper-focused: it’s not the whole engine noise, but the pitch of the reverse thrust or the click of the locking mechanism - a single, precise trigger that haunts you. A generalized script, even a good one, may miss that exact frequency of fear.
This is not the failure of the tapping - it's simply that the script wording 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 deeply rooted in trauma. This is why we provide EFT Tapping scripts that are tailormade for one's specific needs, memories or past events:

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.
