This is best described as a feeling of being put on the spot, fear of being of being embarrassed, humiliated or judged. Symptoms may also include a feeling of being out of breath, almost like a panic attack, excessive perspiring and a feeling of anxiety. A recent report in the U.S. concluded that up to 13% of the adult population suffer from this.
Situations such as social events like dinner parties, going out to meet other people or just going to the shops can prove to be a real nightmare for the social phobic. Their symptoms often include panic attacks, fear of being rejected, a feeling of not being good enough and being concerned how people see you. Blushing easily, no confidence, a lack of eye contact, are also common experiences.
Sufferers may also suffer from making phone calls and worry continually about a forth coming event.
There is often a fear of meeting new people and the social phobic will keep their ideas and thoughts to themselves for fear of being ridiculed. As stated earlier some of the physical symptoms experienced can be a panic attack, excessive perspiration, having dizzy spells, your heart pounding, or just being out of control.
Hypnoanalysis has without doubt changed my life. I never thought it possible to feel so at peace with such a troubled past. For as long as I can remember I struggled with my anxiety and in my teens developed a full-blown social phobia. Despite 35 years going in and out of therapy talking to numerous therapists about how bad I felt, my symptoms kept getting steadily worse and I started to suffer from other nervous problems such as IBS and emetophobia. Then I tried hypnoanalysis and realised I had these really bad feelings that had been trapped inside my body for years. The therapy has helped me to get rid of these bad feelings and as a result my fear of 'being found out' and all the other awful anxiety symptoms I had are fading away. Its amazing, its like a mental detox - I feel as if I've been reborn and given a second chance at life!
I would totally recommend this therapy to anyone who is suffering from fears/anxiety/phobias. It wasn't always an easy journey for me, but I found Rob to be a thoroughly professional and caring therapist and I'd like to thank him for helping me to make my life worth living at last.
All the best to you Rob, I really can't thank you enough!

Social phobia always starts in childhood and often the symptoms may get progressively worse as times goes by. Analytical therapy (hypno-analysis) is an extremely effective way of finding out what the root cause of the problem is. With the use of hypnosis and hypno-analysis the root cause of the anxiety can be located and so the negative emotions that surround the problem can be released thus allow the problem to change. When the emotions are released the symptoms can change and the result is a much more confident self assured outgoing person.
This is more of a training course of understanding yourself better so that you can change those old unwanted thoughts, habits and negative feelings, into becoming much more positive, focused in control and empowered. Link to The Thrive Programme
