Social Anxiety
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Everyone is 'wired' with a deep fear of rejection as a survival instinct-- finding connection and avoiding rejection are how our race has survived, and how we find meaning and fulfillment in life. Social anxiety is rooted in this fear of rejection, and people who have had negative childhood experiences that made them feel socially rejected or not good /safe enough around others will often develop unhelpful beliefs; these drive behaviors such as feeling anxious/ fearful around others, not having the courage to speak, wanting to avoid people as much as possible, etc. The events that are the cause of the beliefs need to be identified, and this is where Rapid Transformational Therapy can provide clarity. Once the underlying belief is addressed, it gets reframed and replaced with suggestions that rewire the subconscious to feel safe/ happy/ excited around other people and visualization of doing things that were previously a cause of anxiety. Ongoing support will be available after the session(s).

Social Anxiety
Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety is very common and very painful. Even though social anxiety is a common condition, each of us feels it in our own way. I have learned that social anxiety can best be treated with a combination of individual therapy and group therapy. At the beginning of individual therapy people are often reluctant to join a group. But even if you never choose to engage in group therapy, individual therapy can help. If you prefer, I can suggest a workbook for out of session help with social anxiety.

Social Anxiety
Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
People with social anxiety often have a number of self-defeating attitudes that underpin their social anxiety. First, they wrongly think they must perform perfectly well. They also usually think that they need the approval of significant others, that it is awful to experience disapproval and failure. They also tend to wrongly believe that rejection and failure prove they are inadequate as people. I teach you that yes there are practical implications of disapproval and failure, but there need not be unhealthy anxiety about these consequences. I teach healthy attitudes toward one's self, one's rejections and failures. I teach you to have a desire to be accepted by others and do well but to accept yourself unconditionally even when you are rejected and fail.

Tracy Hadel
Counselor/Therapist, LSCSW
Social anxiety can be lessened with EMDR and cognitive behavioral techniques. Somatic yoga techniques can also help calm the mind and body, and help us become physically more aware of triggers and thoughts that hinder progress.
