Social Anxiety
Chris Chappell
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MS, LMHC
Do you feel overwhelmed in social situations or when you have to "perform" in some fashion? Social anxiety is a common affliction. You may have been told when you were young that you were "shy" or "too sensitive". The reality is that 20% of people are born "Highly Sensitive People", a biological trait, and that there is nothing inherently wrong with being sensitive, but our culture belittles the trait and makes us feel wrong for it. This social shaming of being sensitive compounds the real and legitimate challenges of being highly sensitive and interacting socially. Our nervous systems are more easily stimulated (and sometimes overwhelmed) by the social and physical environment. So, our work together will include helping you reclaim your true strengths and self-worth, learning to calm your anxiety when it rises, and helping you understand your tendency to be over-stimulated as an inherent trait that needs to be honored, and that comes as a package with some other wonderful gifts that we will illuminate. Nature can be a great resource for calming and connection that we will also use as we move together toward a more empowered vision of your social capacities.

Social Anxiety
Juliana Sloane
Hypnotherapist, CHT
Social anxiety can make even simple interactions feel overwhelming, but hypnosis offers a powerful way to find calm and confidence from within. Through hypnotherapy, we quiet the inner critic, ease anxious thoughts, and strengthen your sense of comfort and authenticity around others. Each session helps reprogram the subconscious mind to support self-trust and genuine connection. I offer virtual hypnosis sessions to help you feel more at ease, confident, and free to be yourself.

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).
