Are you excited to board our luxury fishing charters or are your palms sweating at the thought of the deep sea?
The early onset of anxiety when you imagine being in the middle of a large water body is a sign of aquaphobia. This condition can affect your emotional wellness on adventure trips and cruise holidays, which people usually enjoy. If your partner or family plans a fishing trip with Tag Cabo Sportfishing, you want to participate in all the fun and enjoy without any fears. You don’t want to be on edge just by looking at the blue expanse of the ocean and imagining (unlikely) scenarios of drowning.
But a phobia is an irrational fear that’s disproportionate to the object of fear, which in this case is water.You may feel threatened or at risk every moment you’re in or around water and on the verge of giving in to a flight response. Managing that condition can be exhausting, and quite honestly, will ruin your trip.
We have some tips to help you overcome your aquaphobia and enjoy our charters to your fullest.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Getting the professional help you need for your condition will equip you with the right tools to manage the sudden onset of hysteria.A therapist helps locate the source of your condition, which could be childhood trauma or a life-threatening accident. Anything like a near-death experience of drowning or being stuck without help in water could’ve triggered aquaphobia.
A cognitive-behavioral therapist won’t offer any quick fixes to the problem, but they can train you to understand the fight and flight response. With continued therapy and support, you can even replace the irrational associations you’ve built around water with safer outcomes and overcome your phobia.
Being In Capable Hands
Knowing that the yachting company you’ve hired has a clean track record allays some fears. If the boat crew is experienced in sailing the charters, you can rest assured that you’ll be safe.
Fishing charters are more than just soaking the sun on the deck. You get to enjoy fishing, wave running, whale-watching, and snorkeling. If you’re planning to catch some game fish or enjoy some thrilling water sports, speak to your instructor first. They’ll be able to reassure you that the process is safe and tested previously.
Ease Yourself Into It
Know that time isn’t slipping from your hands, and you can take as long as you need to prepare yourself for a peaceful fishing trip. Rushing to fix yourself or soothe your anxieties won’t help. That may even trigger your stress when you’re about to board the boat or put on your sports gear.
Take a deep breath. Practice some muscle-relaxing techniques. Focus on the now and try to avoid picturing dangerous situations that you could be in.
Fear can grip you with hysteria and control your nerves. That’s what leads to an anxiety attack. But you can avoid that if you take baby steps toward recovery.
