Turbulence is the single greatest trigger for fearful flyers. It’s not the gentle bumps you dread; it’s the sudden, aggressive movement, the feeling of vulnerability, and the ultimate loss of control that spikes anxiety.
It doesn't matter that the plane is structurally sound; your nervous system registers the shaking as a fall.
You are not alone; even professional high-achievers like NFL star Michael Strahan successfully used tapping to overcome his fear of flying after relying on other methods failed.
Relieve Inflight Turbulence Fears: The Tapping Script That Calms Your Body
Aviation experts often explain that airplanes are safe, but that advice rarely works on a panicked traveler. Why? Because aviation facts only address the logical, conscious mind, not the physical, panicked body. Your Amygdala is screaming, and it cannot hear statistics.
The solution is the EFT-Cognitive Fusion: a powerful technique where you first lower the physical anxiety using tapping, and then the logical facts can penetrate and stick in the calmer part of your mind.

The Cognitive Fusion: Tapping Past the Logic Barrier
The Tapping Script: Turbulence Tamer
This targeted script focuses on addressing the physical sensation of dropping and shaking:
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), and repeat the following statement aloud, or under your breath while tapping: "Even though I feel this sudden, scary movement right now, I deeply and completely accept myself."
Sequence: Proceed through these tapping points (eyebrow, side of eye, under the eye, under nose, under chin and collarbone etc.), combining the emotional acknowledgement with the factual reframe. Say the following short phrases aloud, or under your breath while tapping the points: "This sudden shaking of the plane," "My mind registers panic, and I 'm choosing to feel safe," and "The plane is built to flex, and I 'm choosing to calm."
Quick Fact: The Plane Is Built for This
It is helpful to remind your rational mind of the truth: Commercial aircraft are engineered to withstand turbulence far more extreme than you will ever encounter in flight. It’s like hitting a pothole on the road - it's not a structural threat to the plane's integrity. Hold this simple fact in your mind as you tap.

When the Shaking Has a Unique Signature: Targeted Relief
Sometimes, a persistent fear is linked to a very specific memory of turbulence - perhaps a unique sound or aggressive shaking of the plane that happened years ago. 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:
Customized Tapping Script
If your fear is anchored to a unique experience consider getting a Custom Fear of Flying EFT Tapping Script built just for that specific, precise memory or emotional signature.
This provides the dedicated language needed for deeper clearance. Four scripts and a tapping point diagram is included.

What Clients Say About Working With Bridget
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.
