Hypnosis for Social Anxiety

By Saline Walsh | July 29, 2022 |

Social anxiety is the fear of social situations that involve interaction with other people. It can include a fear of being judged by others or a fear of embarrassment. This type of anxiety can cause people to avoid social situations altogether. We all face some degree of social anxiety at
certain points in our lives. For some people, however, social anxiety can be so intense that it interferes with their ability to live a normal life. There are two types of social anxiety:

Generalized social anxiety disorder (SAD) – A fear of all social situations characterizes this type of social anxiety. People with SAD may avoid any kind of social interaction; even if they know, it will be positive.

Specific phobias – These types of social anxiety are characterized by a fear of specific social situations, such as public speaking or meeting new people. People with specific phobias may only avoid situations they’re afraid of rather than all social situations.

Risk Factors for Social Anxiety

There is no single cause of social anxiety. Instead, it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In addition, several risk factors can increase the likelihood of developing social anxiety, including:

Family history – If you have a family member with social anxiety, you’re more likely to develop the condition yourself.

Negative life experiences – Social anxiety can be triggered by bullying, teasing, or any other type of negative social experience.

Perfectionism – People who are perfectionists may be more likely to develop social anxiety because they’re afraid of making mistakes in front of others.

Shyness – Shy People may be more likely to develop social anxiety.

How Can Hypnosis help in beating Social Anxiety?

There are several studies already made on how Hypnosis help to overcome social anxieties. However, this case study found that after several months of hypnosis treatment on people with social anxiety, they could engage in social activities more confidently. The study also found that the effects of hypnosis were long-lasting, with patients maintaining their improved confidence even after the treatment had ended.

Hypnosis can help you overcome social anxiety by teaching you how to relax and feel more confident in social situations. When you’re under hypnosis, you’ll be in a state of deep relaxation. This state is similar to daydreaming or being in a trance. As a result, you’ll be more open to suggestions from the hypnotist, which can help you to change your thinking and behaviors.

During hypnosis, the hypnotist will give you positive suggestions to help you overcome your social anxiety. For example, they may suggest that you’ll feel more confident in social situations or that you’ll be able to handle any situation that comes up. These suggestions can help change how you think and feel about social situations.

Hypnosis can also help you to desensitize yourself to the things that trigger your social anxiety. This is done by gradually exposing you to something that triggers your anxiety, such as public speaking, while you’re in a state of deep relaxation. This can help you to overcome your fear of the trigger, and eventually, you’ll no longer feel anxious in the situation.

You can see a qualified hypnotherapist if you’re interested in trying hypnosis to overcome your social anxiety. They’ll be able to help you to understand how hypnosis works and whether it’s right for you.

After noticing significant positive changes in a close friend of mine that resulted from work with tc, i decided to visit houston to avail myself of tc’s services. Not only are the sessions completely affordable, i was pleasantly surprised by the results achieved as a result of the services tc rendered to me over the course of multiple sessions , over a period of months. I will return soon for another session and likely will remain a lifetime customer of this very generous man.

I’ve been seeing TC since 2014 and am so grateful for his help. Great listener and a very knowledgeable professional.

I've had a very positive experience with TC over the course of 5+ sessions (and to be continued). There is something very special about TC and the way he carries himself. TC is the type of person that you come across once in a lifetime. I believe he has a deep sense of how to effectively guide you to inner peace and understand how you tick. If you are struggling with anything in life, curious about what hypnosis is, or just want to learn more about you don't know, I highly recommend seeing him.

I went to TC to help with a bad habit. After speaking with him, he went right to the root of the problem. Stress! Stress was destroying my body physically. Immediately after the first session, I felt lighter and happy. I am 2 months from my first visit. I have lost 13 pounds without dieting. As far as my bad habit, it's no longer a bad habit. I can't thank him enough for all that he has done. I went for 2 sessions. One might have been enough but two reinforced the behavior.

I was a bit skeptical at first but now I'm a true believer. I used to experience 3-5 migraines a week. It was debilitating. I was on the road to taking very strong medicines on a daily basis, so I thought I'd see if hypnosis could help. It did. I have not had a migraine in over a year!

TC LeNormand helped me understand and remove fear, doubt, and other negative traits caused from childhood trauma. Every session gave me strength to work on my trauma to heal. He is patient, understanding, and guided me with compassion. A genuine person. I felt safe and learned so much. Highly recommend for anyone needing hypnotherapy.

I went to visit Hypnosis Houston about a month ago for my initial visit. Candidly, I went in dealing with an addictive behavior that I wanted to discontinue, and I was completely exasperated, having tried medications, traditional talk therapy, reading books and more. When I spoke with TC, the first thing that struck me is he is incredibly insightful and articulate. We had a conversation about my goals and about the process and what to expect, and then we did some exercises, and finally, he “hypnotized” me. I put it in quotes because it was hypnosis in the traditional sense, being put in a deep relaxed state and listening to spoken suggestions, but it’s not hokey like it is depicted on TV. After our 90 minute appointment he told me to give him a call in a week if I wanted to discuss or have another session. I did not call him, instead I went on about life and gradually things began to change. I did not notice it or attribute to the hypnosis at first, but after looking back and thinking about it, there was a marked change after my hypnosis in my own thought patterns, which in turn has changed my behavior. For example, I have been dissatisfied with my career for many years and have been told by just about everyone that I should go into business for myself, which I have always brushed off because of my aversion to risk and fear of failure. After the hypnosis, suddenly my mind is not hampered with as many of the negative messages that I used to tell myself. Instead this persistent thought keeps appearing that I control my destiny, that I can manifest anything that I desire. This thought has broken my old patterns of behavior and so many amazing things are happening in my life. I fully believe that the suggestions presented to me in my session have transformed my mind and life, because I was willing and open to the suggestion. My advice is give it a try. You have only a relatively small amount of money to lose and your whole life to gain. Try it!

I am a 27 year old that needs a transplant, but in order for me to be approved, I have to quit smoking. Which I have smoked 1-2 packs a day for closer to 15 years now. I have tried just about everything and turned to hypnosis as a last resort..and as a huge skeptic. Fast forward to first phone call: He immediately asked what my motivation was because he made it clear if I felt pressured by anyone or anything else, he couldn't help me. He's not doing this for only financial gain but the act of helping his patients. Fast forward to first meeting: session took 2 hours. He spent time asking about what I envisioned my future to be like and not all the reasons why I smoked. It seems like he's just talking like a therapist but you'll find out the entire time you are in his presence, he's working on you. I felt comfortable, and light. It's not magic, it's just a fascinating practice. AFTER HYPNOSIS CONCLUSION: for the first time in 10 years I got in my truck and didn't need to smoke. I could barely say or think the words "cigarette" or "smoke". As if it didn't exist in my vocabulary anymore. I felt like there's something I should be doing, but couldn't place it. For the first time in over a decade, I haven't had a cigarette in days, and don't feel the desire too. He trained me to think the future is more important that harmful things so I don't process the harmful thing anymore. I don't know why or how exactly it worked but I am thankful it did. I can now get on my transplant list! All because of who would've thought... Hypnosis. About the doctor: I felt comfortable, he obviously can profile people instantly so don't lie to him or the ineffectual treatment is on yourself. He is very friendly and cares about helping and connecting. I feel like HE was what set me up for success. 100/100 recommend and plan on seeing him again for sugar cravings since the first results were unbelievable!
