If you’re afraid of air travel, it’s likely you’re missing out on holidays abroad. Or maybe you hate getting behind the wheel, so never plan road trips as a result? More than half of Brits have a phobia, with 48%* avoiding certain situations. ‘While fear is a protective emotional reaction and a normal healthy response, it can cause problems when out of proportion to the context,’ says hypnotherapist Paul Wright (phobiagone.com). Ready to reclaim your summer? Our expert tips will help you to get over whatever’s holding you back.

The good news is, there are ways to calm your fears.
