OVERCOMING SOCIAL ANXIETY!

So you have social anxiety – what can you do about it…

What is social anxiety?

light bulb & peopleWhen we think of social anxiety, we often think about different social situations that make us feel shy, self-conscious or uncomfortable. The most common example of this is the feeling of being “out of place” or “awkward” at a party or family gathering. However, there is a big difference between feeling awkward at a party and having a deep rooted feeling of despair, anxiety or panic when in the company of other people.

Not many people enjoy receiving criticism, judgement or even a compliment from others, but for some, the fear of receiving such judgements can lead to paranoia, extreme discomfort and panic attacks. In some cases, individuals have had to leave their jobs, school or colleges in order to deal with their social anxiety and in extreme cases, even limit their time out in public for fear of an anxiety panic attack!

Common Symptoms…

There are many symptoms of social anxiety and as with every other phobia, they vary in severity depending on the level of anxiety you are feeling.

When a sufferer of social anxiety finds themselves in a social situation that they are not comfortable in, they often experience the following:

Heavy sweating and/or blushing
Nausea
Shaking of the limbs
Nervous stuttering or stammering during conversation
Drying of the mouth
Shortness of breath
Weakness of the body
Sufferers also try to avoid any form of eye contact and make it difficult for themselves to be noticed or approached. For social anxiety sufferers, speaking in public is an almost impossible task.

What can I do to overcome, managing my social anxiety?

For the most part, social anxiety normally has a root cause. This is often a deep lying sub-conscious condition such as a previous embarrassment or traumatic life event which may have shattered your confidence, broken your trust or completely cooled your interest in the people, or in the world around you. Anxiety Hypnosis has been proven to be extremely successful in the area of overcoming social fears and allows you to analyse and understand your sub-conscious thought patterns, leading you to fully overcome any issues you may have, not just cover them up.

Anxiety Hypnosis can also restore your self-confidence and boost your self-esteem to new levels, as well as preparing you for public speaking or appearances. You may not think this would apply to you, but I can assure you at sometime in the future you will have to do some public speaking. This could be thanking people at a wedding, christening, birthday, anniversary or any other social event you can think of. So think of receiving Anxiety Hypnosis as an investment in not only now but also your future as this is a very important step to take right now.

FINDING THE CURE FOR ARACHNOPHOBIA (THE FEAR OF SPIDERS)!

What is Arachnophobia?

Conquering the Fear of Spiders with The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis in Walsall & Birmingham.Arachnophobia, or the fear of spiders as it’s more commonly known, can be an extremely troubling phobia but on the other hand, fairly simple to resolve. The reactions brought on by the phobia itself can range drastically according to its severity, with light sufferers simply not having a strong dislike to the creepy, long-legged look of the spider to the most severe cases which can cause the affected individual to experience panic or anxiety attacks whenever they see, or even think they see a spider.
Whilst it is true that the majority of people in the UK and around the world feel uncomfortable whilst near or in the presence of a spider, the reaction from an arachnophobic when seeing or thinking about a spider can be very extreme. As with other similar phobias, the fear of spiders is often a sub-conscious fear, making the use of The Nexus Team’s Anxiety Hypnosis is the best way to banish this fear once and for all.
The fear of spiders often feels irrational to us, especially for those individuals residing in the United Kingdom, as we already know that there is not one species of spider that could actually cause us harm. However, this does not stop arachnophobia from being one of the most common fears in the country.

Common Symptoms

The Symptoms of arachnophobia are fairly consistent with general panic attacks and anxiety. A sufferer may experience the following upon encountering or thinking deeply about spiders;

Rapid Heart Rate
Nausea
Shortness Of Breath
Shaking Limbs
Dizziness

In extreme cases, individuals may not even venture into certain areas of their home or general outdoor areas in fear of encountering a spider. You may even find that an individual becomes obsessed with searching their home, especially the bedroom area at night, in order for them to sleep soundly.

What can I do to overcome and manage my fear of spiders?

As with most phobias and fears, simply managing your fear of spiders is not a long term solution to the problem and still leaves you wondering if and when the fear will return. The most successful, easiest and long-term solution for completely overcoming your fear is to use Anxiety Hypnosis.
