Social Anxiety As Dealt With By A West Sussex Hypnotherapist
Social Anxiety, you may read, is down to low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, fear of success, fear of failure, fear of being judged, etc, and there are plenty of long and complicated ways to identify exactly which of these is the cause in order to treat them. I put to you, though, that there is no such thing as Social Anxiety, no such thing as self-esteem or self-confidence, no such thing as fear, success or failure – these are all metaphors, conscious interpretations of complex subconscious patterns, and the patterns that you run are unique to you.
Social Anxiety can cripple your chances to progress in life, but you are not an anxious person; you are just running subconscious patterns that make you feel anxious in social situations. Changing those patterns will change your life, and it doesn’t have to be a long, complicated process. Rather than focus too much on working out exactly what is going on, I will focus your mind on how you perceive that experience through metaphor and then change the metaphor. When we change the metaphor, we change the pattern. Bear in mind, after all, your subconscious’ prime objective is to protect you, and that is what this pattern is designed to do – keep you safe - but there are better ways to do this.
Hypnosis is a fast and effective way to deal with subconscious patterns. In hypnosis, I talk directly with the part of your mind that runs these patterns, and I get that part of your mind to do something different to achieve different results. Hypnotherapy with me is not all about fluffy tranquillity and positive thinking, which is how it is usually marketed. Many hypnotherapists will use generic scripts to treat preconceived ideas about the metaphor of Social Anxiety. I do not use generic scripts. A session with me will be unique to you and your experience – I have had people stuck in a volcano or freeing a bird from a phone box. A session with me is a two-way process, so I can check whether what I am doing is effective. I guide you to do what you need to do, find the pattern, and change it. Each session is unique to you. If you don't want to float down a river on a large lily pad, I won't ask you to. Come and see me, Alex Vrettos, in West Sussex, and I will change your life.
