Overcome Social Anxiety Disorder with Self Hypnosis
Stay calm, relaxed and confident wherever your are and whoever you are with
Do you get the feeling that you are standing on the outside of life, looking in?
Well help is here.
If the following situations seem familiar to you, you may be suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder.
- Are you terrified when you walk into a room full of strangers?
- Do you feel overwhelmed by other people at work?
- Do you get tongue tied or uncomfortable when talking to the opposite sex?
- When faced with possible confrontation, do you just want to flee?
- Do you stay quiet because you feel you have nothing to contribute to conversations ?
- Do you avoid life-changes because meeting new people stops you?
- Are you so nervous about attending social occasions so you avoid them altogether?
There is something you can do to change these scenarios; Self-Hypnosis for Social Anxiety Disorder 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.
Human beings are social animals, so when we intermingle with others, we are satisfying a basic human requirement. For some people though, being the centre of attention in a crowd, walking into a room full of strangers, being introduced to someone they don’t know, is such a gut-wrenching experience they would rather avoid it at all costs.
Trying to catch the attention of others, joining in a conversation or asking a question is something they feel anxious about, so they say nothing, and all these encounters can seem so daunting that even just thinking about them fills them with horror. And when they actually do pluck up the nerve to act, they are struck dumb with anxieties, or they stutter and stammer, or start blushing, then make up an excuse to flee the situation as fast as possible.
If evasion carries on unchecked, other emotional and physical symptoms can occur, like panic and anxiety attacks, eating disorders, agoraphobia, low confidence, and in stark cases, alcohol or drug abuse so begin to make those changes now!
This session can help re-programme the subconscious mind, and put an end to all those negative thoughts and feelings that stop you enjoying that interaction with others.

More information about Social Anxiety:
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.
When Social Anxiety becomes a Phobia:
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 reprogramme 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 behaviors, 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.
Social Phobia Social Anxiety Disorder Symptoms:
Social phobia — also known as social anxiety disorder — is an intense fear of becoming humiliated in social situations, specifically of embarrassing yourself in front of other people. It often runs in families and may be accompanied by depression or alcoholism. Social phobia often begins around early adolescence or even younger.”
If you suffer from social phobia, you tend to think that other people are very competent in public and that you are not. Small mistakes you make may seem to you much more exaggerated than they really are.
Blushing itself may seem painfully embarrassing, and you feel as though all eyes are focused on you. You may be afraid of being with people other than those closest to you. Or your fear may be more specific, such as feeling anxious about giving a speech, talking to a boss or other authority figure, or dating. The most common social phobia is a fear of public speaking. Sometimes social phobia involves a general fear of social situations such as parties. More rarely it may involve a fear of using a public restroom, eating out, talking on the phone, or writing in the presence of other people, such as when signing a check.
Although this disorder is often thought of as 'shyness', the two are not the same. Shy people can be very uneasy around others, but they don’t experience the extreme anxiety in anticipating a social situation, and they don’t necessarily avoid circumstances that make them feel self-conscious. In contrast, people with social phobia aren’t necessarily shy at all. They can be completely at ease with people most of the time, but particular situations, such as walking down an aisle in public or making a speech, can give them intense anxiety. Social phobia disrupts normal life, interfering with career or social relationships.
For example, a worker can turn down a job promotion because he can’t give public presentations. The dread of a social event can begin weeks in advance, and symptoms can be quite debilitating.
People with social phobia are aware that their feelings are irrational. Still, they experience a great deal of dread before facing the feared situation, and they may go out of their way to avoid it. Even if they manage to confront what they fear, they usually feel very anxious beforehand and are intensely uncomfortable throughout. Afterwards, the unpleasant feelings may linger, as they worry about how they may have been judged or what others may have thought or observed about them.

Specific Symptoms of this Disorder:
- A marked and persistent fear of one or more social or performance situations in which the person is exposed to unfamiliar people or to possible scrutiny by others. The individual fears that he or she will act in a way (or show anxiety symptoms) that will be humiliating or embarrassing.
- Exposure to the feared social situation almost invariably provokes anxiety, which may take the form of a situationally bound or situationally predisposed Panic Attack.
- The person recognizes that the fear is excessive or unreasonable.
- The feared social or performance situations are avoided or else are endured with intense anxiety or distress. The avoidance, anxious anticipation, or distress in the feared social or performance situation(s) interferes significantly with the person’s normal routine, occupational (academic) functioning, or social activities or relationships, or there is marked distress about having the phobia.
- The fear or avoidance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition and is not better accounted for by another mental disorder.
