Hypnosis Silver Spring
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapist certified by International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association
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.
