Maria Christopoulos
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., M.Sc., RP
Social Anxiety can affect the way an individual views themselves in the context of their relationships,the world around them and their confidence in themselves. This may lead to avoidant behaviours, negative thoughts and self talk and low confidence to try new things. Therapeutic interventions can help identify and positively change core beliefs and increase confidence.

Social anxiety disorder (also known as Social Phobia) is a mental health condition. It is a type of anxiety disorder that causes extreme fear in social settings. It is an intense, persistent fear of being watched, judged and perhaps even humiliated by others. This fear can affect work, school, and your other day-to-day activities. It can even make it hard to make and keep friends. Hypnosis has proven to be an excellent method or complement to counteracting the negative effects of this disorder.

Psychologist, Psychologist, Registered Psychotherapist, Pre Registration Professionals
Without treatment, the symptoms of social may continue to interrupt your quality of life. However, treatment has been proven effective in supporting people with anxiety to get back to enjoying life. Here are some next steps to help you get started:
Relaxation strategies can help to decrease the physical symptoms of anxiety. The more you feel your heart racing and your breathing changing, the harder it is to calm yourself down. Try to breathe deeply.
Counselling with a mental health provider has been proven to be very effective in helping individuals overcome Anxiety issues. Not only can a trained counsellor help teach you the strategies needed to help stop the anxiety cycle, they can also help you use them correctly.
In severe cases one should also consult their family doctor since medication, when taken in conjunction with counselling, has often proved helpful.
McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare can help connect you with a mental health professional who is a personal and cultural fit; someone who has expertise treating anxiety.
