Suffering with Social Anxiety or Social Phobia can mean that being the centre of attention in a crowd, entering a room full of people, or being introduced to someone new, may be such a nerve racking situation you would rather avoid it at all costs.
Trying to be heard by others, join in a conversation or ask a question is something you may feel so anxious about you choose to stay quiet, and these types of challenges can seem so daunting, that even just thinking about them fills you with dread; when you actually do pluck up the courage to act, you are struck dumb with nerves, or you may stutter and stammer, or blush bright red, and eventually make up an excuse to exit the situation as quickly as possible.
If you get nervous, feel sick and want to run when faced with possible confrontation, if walking into a room full of strangers terrifies you, or you turn down invitations to social events because you feel too nervous to attend, and it has begun to feel as though you are standing on the outside of life, looking in, you are more than likely suffering with Social Anxiety, also known as Social Phobia.
If these scenarios seem familiar to you, there is something you can do to change them; Self-Hypnosis can turn your life around, and give you that extra boost you need to feel relaxed and comfortable wherever you are, no matter who you are with.
The problem with social anxiety is that if avoidance continues unchecked, it can become a phobia and other emotional and physical symptoms can occur, such as panic and anxiety attacks, eating disorders, agoraphobia, low self-esteem, and in severe cases, alcohol or drug abuse. Staying indoors and shutting out the world is not the answer because human beings are social animals, so when we interact with others, we are fulfilling a basic human need. But Hypnotherapy can reprogram your subconscious mind to put a halt to all those negative thoughts and feelings that stop you enjoying that interaction with others, take control now by using the power of your own mind!
During a hypnotherapy session, it is the unconscious part of the mind that is spoken to, where new ideas, concepts and affirmations can be implanted, and it is here that old limiting beliefs can be changed. Past phobias and learnt negative behaviours, feelings and concepts can be looked at and laid to rest, allowing the conscious mind to adopt a more rational positive outlook. The subconscious part of our mind has no critical awareness, and is only limited by our imagination.
With many Hypnotherapy sessions soothing music accompanies the therapy at strategic points, helping the listener to relax, and absorb the information whilst the therapist guides you with gentle suggestions, positive language, and life changing imagery. You will always be in control at all times, able to awaken immediately should the need arise and attend to anything that you need to.
Self-Hypnosis is a powerful self-help tool for implementing change within your life. It is simple, effective, non-invasive, produces long-term changes, and can be used by almost everyone. By using self-hypnosis pre-recorded material such as a CD and mp3 download, you will have at the touch of button, a full Hypnotherapy session that can be used whenever you need to, as often as you need to. It's as simple as that.
