Resolving a Fear of Public Speaking with Hypnotherapy
Are you someone who becomes anxious simply at the thought of engaging with people who you don’t know very well? If so, you are certainly not alone. It’s very common to have concerns about how you will cope in social situations, especially if it involves being the centre of attention. A fear of public speaking is generally related to a social anxiety disorder, which is also a social phobia. We all know people who are shy and introverted, but for some this shyness can become distressing and very difficult to cope with.
Jonathan Conway has helped many who have problems with speaking in public with hypnotherapy and NLP at the Conway Practice in Brighton.* Time is spent on uncovering the layers of distant memories buried in the subconscious, focusing on when the phobia first began to develop. There may now be specific situations that trigger the recall of past experiences, which result in a feeling of panic and a ‘fight or flight’ rush of adrenalin. These easily forgotten and overlooked issues that are the root cause of the problem may be tiny and seem insignificant, but need to be resolved.
Social anxiety can be extremely self-limiting, not only affecting your relationship with friends and family, but also professionally. Presenting to authority figures in an interview or during meetings with colleagues and clients, can be a daunting experience. This may not be limited to speaking in front of others and some may find eating or drinking in public extremely uncomfortable and will find excuses to avoid parties and other social gatherings even though they feel they are missing out.
The state of hypnosis is similar to being in a daydream, where your mind is relaxed and responsive. You have probably experienced times when you’ve been a passenger on a train or driving a car and although remaining in control throughout, reacting normally to what’s going on around you, when you arrive at your destination you remember virtually nothing of the journey. Hypnotherapy is completely safe and medication-free.
Hypnotherapy and NLP will help you to find greater freedom, putting you back firmly in control and able to achieve far more, confidently and calmly.* For more information please call Jonathan Conway on 01273 540425
