at
1066 Hypnotherapy All forms of social anxiety/social phobia can be treated successfully using hypnosis and hypnotherapy. In most cases, the symptoms can be completely and permanently resolved by a unique, specialised form of hypnotherapy...more later. In fact, I have successfully treated a wide variety of clients with all sorts of social anxiety problems at my practice just outside of Battle, East Sussex and covering Hastings, Rye, Bexhill, Heathfield, Hailsham, Eastbourne, Crowborough, Brighton, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Ashford and the surrounding areas of East Sussex and Kent.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that 'social anxiety' means that you will only feel anxious in 'social' situations (e.g. in a pub, at a party etc) - social anxiety means that you can feel anxious in a wide range of situations in society at large including, at work, with your partner, with your family, with strangers etc: so basically any situation where you feel, (or you worry that you might feel), embarrassed, humiliated, put on the spot, silly, judged or out of control. Social anxiety is characterised by one or more of the following:
Social anxiety commonly goes hand in hand with the following problems:
This is hardly surprising as all of the above problems will either lead to, or increase, your worrying about what other people are thinking of you. There is an old Spanish proverb which says "a life lived in fear is a life only half lived" and this very much applies to the social phobic. If you suffer from social anxiety, you are at best prevented from achieving your full potential in life and at worst you could be severely hampered and could almost be unable to lead a 'normal' life. It is quite common to gradually limit your life and lifestyle to try to manage or control or completely avoid situations where you might either experience your particular symptoms or have those unwanted and uncomfortable thoughts and feelings about yourself triggered off. One thing to remember is that you weren't born with a fear of being judged, or with low confidence, or a lack of self-esteem, or feeling insecure, or with any of the other symptoms of social anxiety listed above. And it isn't "just the way you are". All of these problems arise from some uncomfortable feelings that you have bottled up during your developing years and it is perfectly normal to bottle up uncomfortable, upsetting or unwanted feelings in this way. However, once you have bottled up these feelings, every time you experience something in your life that makes you feel anxious or stressed or upset or humilated or embarrassed or judged, such as being bullied at school or having a row with friends or having a relationship break up, or indeed you face any other of life's challenges and problems, those feelings are reinforced for you. You will also continue to bottle up uncomfortable feelings throughout your life which, of course, only makes things worse.
