Social anxiety, or social phobia as it is sometimes known, is the most common sort of phobia clients consult with at ELK Hypnotherapy. In fact, many clients consult for other problems, from weight loss through to sexual problems and other phobias, but are also suffering from social anxiety without even realizing it.
Sufferer's of social anxiety are often very adept at portraying an image of self confidence, or putting on a front, so that even their closest friends of family may not be aware of their condition. The effects can be widespread, from causing relationship problems, through to creating difficulties at work. Getting through the day as a social phobic is without doubt exhausting. Sufferer's go to great lengths to avoid certain situations, such as meetings, presentations, meeting new people etc.
Sufferers' of social anxiety and social phobia often also have a feeling of being held back in life; but are unable to put their finger on what it is within themsleves that is creating these feelings.
