I have helped many clients overcome social anxiety through using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and relaxation techniques. Much of this therapy focuses on helping clients improve their sense of self-compassion and self-acceptance. I also help clients explore how to improve their communication and overall relationship patterns.
Many introverts tend to isolate themselves, and this can be exacerbated by the pandemic. Finding the cause of this condition can be helpful in building confidence, and decreasing self-consciousness The regular zoom seminars are helpful, and after a period of time people become more confident in revealing themselves.

Social anxiety can be tricky; it often makes us feel like others are judging us and can make us feel afraid of expressing ourselves freely. Together, we will explore helpful tools for lowering anxiety in social situations, empowering you to feel more confident and comfortable in social interactions.
Through DBT and CBT skills and strategies we can work together to conquer your worries. By creating a judgment-free, safe space we can identify your needs and implement a custom plan for you.
I recognize the challenges that social anxiety causes in individuals lives. I have worked collaboratively with others on building skills and processing the emotional distress they feel around social interactions.

Using Core Transformation and Wholeness Work we can resolve the anxiety or fear on a a deep emotional level. I will be interested in what you are actually experiencing, rather than a previous diagnosis. "Social Anxiety," for instance, can mean any of a number of things: feeling "judged," being overly concerned about what others think, "mind reading" (believing you know others' thoughts, even though you don't), a difficulty communicating or engaging with others. Once we tease out the particularities, I will use Core Transformation and Wholeness (and standard hypnosis sometimes) to resolve them.
Self-talk, self-perception, self-esteem may also come into play; I have special ways of working with these.

I’m dubious about the term “social anxiety.” I don’t doubt for a second how paralyzing or distressing it is to be anxious in social situations, but diagnosing someone with social anxiety sometimes feels like an excuse for a quick fix: “Here’s a prescription!” That’s not my approach (although I get it if that’s where you are now).
Whether you’ve been diagnosed or not doesn’t matter to me. What matters is that you want to be more confident and comfortable around people. Because I can help you with that.
The tools I use – energy psychology, hypnosis and NLP (neurolinguistic programming), nutritional guidance, and voice dialogue (or “parts work”) – all have a part. As can figuring out if “social anxiety” is part of a bigger problem, such as chronic anxiety or perfectionism or a general distrust of people, or a seemingly unrelated bad experience that subconsciously affects you in social situations.
Human beings are social animals. Social connection is so important that a lack of it is a reliable predictor of early death. And technology now gives us so many ways to “connect” that it’s easy to stop connecting in meaningful ways.
If you’re tired of not being able to be yourself (or the person you want to be) in social situations, there’s a good chance I can help. Please get in touch.
