Social Anxiety

 

The problem of social phobia (social anxiety, or social anxiety disorder) is one of the most common phobias around, and certainly one of the most responsive to analytical hypnotherapy.

It's impact upon our lives certainly can be extremely debilitating as it revolves around a fear of how others might see you, what they think of you, and feeling that whatever you’re doing is getting noticed.

In essence, social phobia is a fear of being judged. If you suffer from social phobia / anxiety, this fear becomes your own worst enemy.

The symptoms produced by this condition can be

 

Dry Mouth

Blushing

Feeling Sick

Shaking

Weak

Bladder Control

Stammering

Diarrhea

Sweating

Palpitations

Full-Blown Anxiety

Panic Attacks

 

The fear of social phobia is based around social / public situations, and these can range from anything such as nights out, to going shopping, meeting people, going to work, parties, entertainment situations, or even a complete inability to use public toilets (shy bladder), as well as many other situations where people come into some kind of contact with others.

Indeed, they may arrange their whole life to avoid situations where social interactions may occur. This can include avoiding using / answering the telephone, or typing / writing something down in front of others, avoiding signing their name, or indeed anything that could possibly put them at the centre of attention, or 'on the spot'.

 

Often, when a person has social anxiety, their self esteem is low, they are lacking in confidence, they are sometimes not even able to hold eye contact.

 

There is usually an intense dislike of being introduced to people, often anxiety over eating / drinking in public – the very things that most people enjoy, such as having dinner in a lovely restaurant, can bring dread to someone with social phobia.

 

Social phobia may also manifest itself as the avoidance of situations involving confrontations with colleagues, especially when involving figures of authority, such as supervisors and managers. This can dramatically increase the effects of the social phobia / anxiety, bringing with it the attendant dread and unease.

 

Parties can be stressful and because of this, the need to have a drink beforehand, to “loosen up a bit”, and relax enough to release those social inhibitions, becomes of prime importance to the sufferer.

 

Over time, this social phobic condition may go on to develop into depressive illnesses, or because the sufferers end up avoiding so many social places, they may go on to develop agoraphobia.

 

Some people with social phobia, or social anxiety disorder, may use drugs, alcohol, or tranquillizers as crutches, and sometimes become addicted to them.
