Thunderstorms: loud crashes and bangs. Random flashes of light, momentarily lighting up the otherwise sky. Nature unleashing power that mankind can still only dream about making. Depending on your viewpoint, thunderstorms are either things to marvel at or they're something to cower away from. Some people find them so thrilling that they even chase storms. But if you're unfortunate enough to be one of the many people who are afraid of thunderstorms, there are a few things you can do to help reduce or maybe even completely eliminate your phobia. 1. Trace your fear to its roots Chances are when you were younger, you fell into the group of people who are fascinated by these displays of the force of nature. But there was likely a "trigger" event that turned you almost instantly into someone for is in fear of thunderstorms. If you're able to find this "trigger" event without causing yourself undue stress, you can almost certainly use a few simple tricks to remove your fear quickly and easily. 2. Learn a relaxation technique Whilst it's not always easy to relax in the height of a storm, if you take time out to learn a relaxation technique whilst it's relatively calm outside, this will help you to endure the storm when it does arrive. If there's a storm on its way as you're reading this then you haven't got chance to learn a relaxation technique. In this instance, make sure you breathe in as deeply and slowly as possible. And do the same as you breathe out. This will help calm your nerves until the thunderstorm passes. 3. Find a viewpoint If it's safe to do so, drive to a viewpoint that's away from the direction the storm is taking and watch it unfold before your eyes as if you're watching a giant movie. 4. Research why thunderstorms happen This may sound odd, but if you know a bit about the science behind these unruly feats of nature, you may begin to reduce your fears and worries. Spend some time reading up on storms to see if this works for you. 5. Get help You can track down a local NLP practitioner or download a hypnosis track to listen to.
