As we approach the festive season, you may be among the many who are already finding an excuse to miss the celebrations and get-togethers. It’s a common misconception that social anxiety and being anti-social are one and the same, but in fact they are significantly different. Social anxiety management with hypnotherapy in Brighton at The Conway Practice will help you to understand why you would like to engage socially, but have an intense fear of doing so.*
This anxious state of mind generally centres on feeling self-conscious, embarrassed, or an overwhelming concern that you will be negatively evaluated by others. Common symptoms include excessive worry before social events, with physical reactions such as sweating or shaking, and an intense desire to avoid situations where you may be the focus of attention. A social phobia isn’t a lack of desire for connection, it’s actually a fear-based barrier that prevents you from comfortably engaging in social interactions.
On the other hand, anti-social behaviour is related to a personality disorder (ASPD), and among other traits, refers to a lack of empathy and a disregard for the feelings of others. If you experience social anxiety, you are likely to care deeply about how others perceive you, resulting in the avoidance of interactions to avoid negative judgment, with a fear of saying the wrong thing or at the wrong time. Therapeutic intervention with hypnosis will enable you to identify the origin and fears responsible for your phobic reaction to social events.* Once the subconscious triggers have been established, Jonathan Conway will introduce new coping methods and relaxation techniques to reduce the stress response.* Positive affirmations will also assist in improving your self-worth and confidence.*
Hypnotherapy provides a holistic path to achieving a clear understanding of your anxiety-related triggers, opening new opportunities in your personal and professional life with stress-free social engagements.*
