Vacation Fear: Why It Happens and 3 Steps to Overcome It

Planning a vacation is supposed to be exciting. Sun, scenery, and a break from your daily routine—what’s not to love? But for many people, the idea of going away triggers something else entirely: fear.

This phenomenon, known as vacation fear or travel anxiety, is more common than you might think. It can stem from a fear of flying, fear of the unknown, or even the discomfort of stepping out of your routine. You may feel anxious about getting sick, losing control, being too far from home, or just overwhelmed by the idea of travel logistics.

The good news? You’re not alone—and more importantly, you don’t have to stay stuck. Here are three easy steps to help you start shifting out of fear and into freedom:


1. Name the Fear

It sounds simple, but putting your fear into words gives you power over it. Are you afraid the plane might crash? That you’ll get lost? That you won’t be able to relax? Once you identify the root cause, you stop the fear from staying vague and overwhelming. Say it out loud or write it down. Clarity is the first step toward confidence.


2. Practice Mental Rehearsal

Your brain doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and what’s vividly imagined. Use that to your advantage. Visualize yourself at the airport, feeling calm. Picture yourself arriving at your destination with a smile. This technique, often used in hypnosis, conditions your mind to expect peace instead of panic.


3. Consider Hypnosis

Sometimes, fear runs deeper than logic. That’s where hypnosis shines. It helps bypass the conscious mind and speaks directly to the subconscious—the part of you that holds onto fear. With the right guidance, many people experience fast, lasting relief from vacation anxiety after just a session or two.
