A social anxiety isn’t just an issue during socialising, it can also trigger an overwhelming stress response while you are speaking in front of an audience, or during a professional engagement where you are required to present to others. Managing a social phobia, especially when you feel outside of your comfort zone and familiar environments can feel incredibly stressful. The fear of judgment or failure is deeply rooted in the subconscious mind, resulting in both emotional and physical symptoms, which are often misunderstood by friends, family, and work colleagues. Hypnotherapy in Brighton and Hove to overcome a fear of public speaking is available at The Conway Practice.*
Hypnotherapy takes a holistic support approach by exploring the origin of your ‘fight or flight’ stress response.* Social anxiety often originates from early life experiences, such as childhood criticism, bullying, or situations where you have felt out of your depth in past conversations or speeches. These events can create a deep fear of judgment or scrutiny. Over time, the mind links social situations or public speaking with danger, leading to avoidance, low self-esteem, and self-consciousness in similar settings.
Therapeutic intervention with hypnosis offers a quiet, compassionate space where you’re not forced to push through fear, but gently invited to understand it, and to recognise the root cause of your phobic reaction.* It will help you to reconnect with the calm, confident part of yourself, and to build a new sense of confidence and self-worth.*
During each hypnotherapy session with Jonathan Conway, you won’t simply be learning to speak in front of others, you will be guided to replace self-doubt with self-trust by re-framing negative beliefs with positive affirmations.* New coping mechanisms can be introduced to manage stress and anxiety, including distraction techniques, relaxation methods and positive visualisation.*
Hypnotherapy in Brighton to manage a social anxiety can help you to find your voice again, and to express yourself freely and confidently in both social and professional engagements.*
