Social anxiety has many origins, and is often linked to past experiences and beliefs. Recognising these subconscious triggers and what they relate to, can be effectively explored and addressed with hypnotherapy in Brighton to overcome a social phobia at The Conway Practice.* Although the root cause of your anxiety may well be due to an intense fear of being the focus of attention in unfamiliar surroundings and situations, such as social gatherings or presentations, one aspect might be overlooked. In a world dominated by on-line communication, it’s easy to fall into the habit of using social media as a shield from physical interactions. This reliance may even extend beyond personal preference, and can become a coping mechanism for social discomfort, anxiety, or a fear of rejection. Hypnotherapy in Brighton with Jonathan Conway offers a gentle yet effective path to break this reliance and rebuild confidence and comfort during face-to-face connections.*
Avoiding in-person engagement by retreating into on-line socialising can reinforce feelings of isolation and low self-esteem. Over time, you may have learned to associate safety and well-being with digital communication, while subconsciously labelling real-life social settings as threatening or overwhelming. Therapeutic intervention with hypnosis works by accessing these stored beliefs, and re-framing negative patterns and thoughts with new coping methods and positive affirmations.*
While you are comfortable and in a state of deep relaxation, Jonathan will guide you to recognise the origins of your social avoidance.* This may stem from past rejection, a fear of judgment, or self-doubt. Hypnotherapy helps to re-evaluate these experiences and introduce empowering beliefs.* This can help you to desensitise the fear response and restore self-esteem, resulting in increased confidence during physical social interaction.*
Managing social anxiety with hypnosis, encourages a lifestyle balance.* You will be able to recognise when you are using social media to avoid discomfort, by giving you the therapeutic tools to face that unease with more self-belief and assurance.* Relaxation methods and distraction techniques will also enable you to recognise and cope with the subconscious triggers responsible for triggering your ‘flight or fight’ response to perceived stressful situations and unfamiliar environments.*
