Social Anxiety
Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Social anxiety often involves more than shyness. It can include fear of judgment, self-consciousness, anticipatory worry, or feeling “on edge” in social or professional situations. Even when individuals understand that their fears may be exaggerated, the emotional response can feel automatic and difficult to control.
My approach to working with social anxiety is personalized and collaborative. Hypnosis helps address the subconscious patterns that influence how the mind and body respond in social settings. Rather than using scripted techniques, sessions are tailored to the individual’s goals and real-life situations, helping reduce anxiety, build confidence, and develop a greater sense of ease during interactions.
Clients commonly seek hypnosis for social anxiety related to public speaking, meetings, social gatherings, dating, or workplace interactions. Hypnosis offers a drug-free, complementary approach that allows clients to remain aware and in control while learning to respond more calmly and confidently.
This work is not a replacement for medical or mental health care, and I do not recommend changing prescribed medications without consulting a healthcare provider. When appropriate, hypnosis can be used alongside other professional support to help clients feel more comfortable, present, and self-assured in social situations.

It replaces negative thought patterns with positive ones.Physical Symptom Management: Hypnosis reduces physical symptoms like blushing, sweating, and trembling.
