Managing social anxiety with hypnosis in Brighton at The Conway Practice is an effective therapeutic approach to overcoming this common issue.* Social anxiety is also known as a social phobia, and is characterised by an intense fear of social situations. There is a fundamental difference to an anti-social personality, which relates to a lack of interest in socialising, driven by indifference rather than fear. Social anxiety on the other hand, presents as an intense feeling of panic or extreme discomfort in social situations, due to worries about judgement or embarrassment. You may well desire personal connections but avoid interactions out of fear, with the belief that what you do or say, will lead to negative evaluation or rejection by others.
You may find for instance that you frequently engage in social avoidance, where you intentionally steer clear of interactions in order to reduce the distress and discomfort associated with your anxiety. During hypnotherapy sessions with Jonathan Conway, any negative beliefs and behaviour will be explored and addressed.* The origin of a phobic reaction to socialising can remain stored within the subconscious mind, impacting on your confidence and self-worth later in life when faced with perceived threats, such as speaking in public or attending a celebration. Once these influences are identified, new stress-relieving coping mechanisms can be introduced, including relaxation techniques and positive visualisation methods.*
Hypnosis in Brighton to overcome social anxiety is a holistic method applied while you are comfortable and deeply relaxed, when positive suggestions can be introduced to empower you to manage stress and anxiety, and to face situations and form meaningful relationships with confidence.* This can also be a great benefit not only in your personal life, but also professionally during interviews and presentations.
Breaking the cycle of social avoidance is essential to overcoming your fear, and improving quality of life.
Confidential sessions in hypnotherapy with Jonathan Conway can be held at The Conway Practice in Brighton, or remotely by Zoom, Skype or telephone, if preferred.*
