Social Anxiety Treatment / Social Phobia Treatment at Oxfordshire Hypnotherapy, Oxford.

As with any other kind of phobia, this is basically a fear and a condition which has developed as an outward expression (or symptom) of an internal anxiety. Possibly the most common of all phobias, Social Phobia (or Scopophobia) is quite simply described as the fear of being judged.

Someone suffering from this condition will feel more than a little nervous about meeting new people, eating in a restaurant or even shopping for clothes. In many situations involving other people they will feel acutely embarrassed and worried about the prospect of being the centre of attention.

“Following your treatment I am now completely cured of my anxiety and particularly my nervousness on stage. Two years on I continue to perform in many parts of the world with ease and confidence” Shirley ( Musician from London).

Physical Symptoms

These can include stuttering and stammering, profuse sweating, dry mouth, palpitations, blushing, shaking and trembling – also leading to panic attacks and an overwhelming fear of losing control.

There may be an exaggerated fear of voicing opinions, talking on the telephone, making presentations or a general lack of confidence.

Social Phobia can also be greatly distressing to those whose profession involves addressing other people – actors, musicians, politicians or public speakers. Although they are generally rather adept at concealing their discomfort at the time they will, in private, suffer extreme trauma which can affect work and relationships to a demoralising degree.

Pure Hypnoanalysis as Treatment for Social Anxiety (Social Phobia) in Oxford

Pure Hypnoanalysis is a unique form of treatment only practised by members of the International Association of Pure Hypnoanalyists (IAPH). This utilises the natural process of Free Association over a period of 8 to 10 sessions.

Over this period of time and during the experience of a wonderfully relaxed state of hypnosis, the mind will seek to uncover the original cause and accompanying emotion of the underlying problem and will remove the symptoms for ever.
