Social Anxiety

What is it?
Most people occasionally feel the familiar signs of nervousness when meeting new people or speaking in front of a group. But for people with social anxiety , or social phobia, these signs of nervousness are much worse. Their fear of everyday social situations makes it very difficult for them to function on a daily basis.

Social anxiety affects about 10.5 million Americans in any given year. Social anxiety  occurs more often in women than in men.

How does social anxiety affect someone?
Social anxiety affects people in different ways. Sometimes a person with this condition may be afraid only of specific types of situations, such as speaking in public or eating and drinking in front of others. A person with social anxiety  may experience symptoms any time he or she is around other people. In fact, a person may have such severe symptoms that he or she may avoid going to work or school or have difficulty making or keeping friends.

Are you ready to feel good again, with a better outlook on life?

         OR are you going to continue to let life scare you so that you can't achieve your true desires?

Do you want to take control of how you feel and improve your relationships with others?

         OR do you want to continue to miss out on life, feeling that there is no way you could possibly fit in?

Do you want life to be easier, happier and more productive?

         OR do you want to live life imprisoned by your self-sabotaging thoughts and continue to live in your own private hell?

What are the symptoms of social anxiety ?
People with social anxiety  have an extreme, constant fear of one or more social or public situations. This fear severely disrupts day-to-day functioning. Other symptoms of social anxiety  may include:

  • Avoiding social situations
  • Intense self-consciousness in social settings
  • Physical symptoms such as blushing, sweating, trembling, fast heartbeat, and nausea
  • Unreasonable fear of embarrassment

People with social anxiety  often have more self-consciousness and anxiety than usual before and during social events. In stressful situations, people with social anxiety  often have increased physical symptoms, which in turn can raise their level of anxiety and self-consciousness even more.

Studies have shown that people with social anxiety  often experience other types of emotional health problems as well:

  • They often suffer from depression
  • They may abuse alcohol or drugs to reduce fear in social settings
  • They may have other anxiety disorders as well
Do you want the freedom to enjoy life and be able to build positive, loving relationships with good people?

 

              OR  Do you want to continue taking medicine that keeps you from feeling anything and keeps you in prison with 

                      yourself?

 

Do you want to use a short term therapy in which you can begin seeing results in weeks rather than several months or years?

 

             OR  Do you want to wallow in self-pity so that you continue to be too embarrassed to participate in life fully?

 

Do you want to receive help right away by calling Ms. Hale for a free consultation to see if hypnotherapy is right for you?

 

             OR  Do you want to continue sitting at your computer screen wishing that life was different not realizing that you make

                     your own wishes come true?

What causes social anxiety?
The causes of social anxiety are unknown, but it may be due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. Serotonin and norepinephrine are 2 chemicals used by some nerve cells to communicate. These chemicals, along with other neurotransmitters, are thought to be linked to social anxiety. Therefore, medications that affect these neurotransmitters have played a role in treating social anxiety.

However, medications only mask the problem. Hypnotherapy can help you address social anxiety so that it no longer controls you and your life. Wouldn't you like to live life more freely and not rely on popping pills that have their own terrible side affects and could possibly cause damage to you physically? There are no side affects to hypnotherapy accept self-control, self-confidence and feeling a whole lot better.

Take action if you believe you suffer from social anxiety  
Help is available that can help you overcome social anxiety and get back to your life. Don't let fear, anger and anxiety hold you back. Take a step forward and call Amy for a free consultation to see how you can achieve a better life with hypnotherapy.
