Social Phobia Treatment Using Nlp & Hypnosis

One of the most common anxiety disorders is social phobia, a condition in which an individual is scared of being in a social setting. An individual with social phobia suffers from debilitating anxiety that affects their personal and daily life.

People with social phobia are extremely self-conscious and worried about what others may say or think about them. They are typically afraid of speaking up, out of fear that they will be criticized or judged. Those with social anxiety tend to look down on themselves or have negative feelings about themselves. They are often worried about being noticed by others and find social situations to be quite stressful.

Some people with social phobia may seem "shy," but in the case of a phobia, this is taken to irrational extremes. For example, if you suffer from social phobia, you may hesitate to make a crucial call because you are nervous about talking on the telephone. You make the phone call, but you are so nervous that you "lock up" or forget why you called. Although it can happen to everyone sometimes, for a person with social phobia it may happen every single time, to the point where they find it near impossible to make any calls.

Maybe it is the night before an important meeting at work and you find yourself worried sick. You dread the idea of being in front of your supervisor and all your colleagues watching as you present a new idea or project. You can't help but feel extremely embarrassed and self-conscious. Even after the meeting, you can't stop overanalyzing everything you said and did. You are afraid that you humiliated yourself in front of your colleagues by stuttering or saying the wrong thing.

Perhaps you want to go to parties and make friends, but you avoid social gatherings because you are nervous about meeting new people. You find the crowds daunting and the idea of meeting someone new scares you. You worry about saying the right thing, or that you will get laughed at. You might stay at home very often because you are too scared to go out. These are only a few examples of the way social phobias can affect our lives.

Social phobias are irrational fears that can prevent you from achieving your professional goals or fully enjoying your life. But even those who realize their fears are irrational may not know how to rid themselves of their phobia.

People with social anxiety often want to be more outgoing and meet new people, but are too scared to try. Despite their conscious desires and best efforts, they can't shake their fears because every phobia is seated in the unconscious mind. Ericksonian hypnosis therapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques are the most successful phobia treatments because they resolve issues at the unconscious level.

It is often hard for people with social anxiety to get cured because they can be reluctant to see a therapist or discuss their anxieties. This is why hypnotherapy programs are right for them. The programs promote a peaceful and confidence-boosting frame of mind in a privacy, without being intimidating or overwhelming.

The first stage in a good phobia program is relaxation therapy. Hypnotic therapy is a powerful tool for eliminating your stress and tension. When you are de-stressed, hypnosis techniques will help shape positive thoughts in your unconscious mind and get rid of your fears. NLP techniques are used to eliminate your fears by directly targeting the thought process that causes a phobia.

In conventional hypnosis therapy, specially worded post-hypnotic suggestions are used to address one unique phobia. The problem is, people often reject being directly told what to think or do, so conventional hypnosis therapy does not always work. A deep-seated phobia requires a combination of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and NLP.

Ericksonian hypnotherapy techniques are more effective than conventional hypnosis therapy because they utilize suggestions that are not obvious to the conscious mind, instead of direct suggestions. These suggestions are placed in conversation, in different stories and metaphors, to persuade the unconscious mind to adopt a different line of thinking. For this reason, Ericksonian hypnotherapy is much more sophisticated than conventional hypnotherapy and far harder for the unconscious mind to reject.

A single program that utilizes Ericksonian hypnotherapy and NLP techniques can treat social phobia and any other phobia, in any person. This is because multiple techniques are combined to increase their effectiveness.

People are often amazed at the almost miraculous effects they can achieve using hypnosis therapy. Ericksonian hypnotherapy and NLP are excellent tools to help you build confidence and beat social phobia so you will be able to live your life to the fullest.
