However, with the right guidance and support, it is possible to overcome social anxiety and live a fulfilling life with healthy social interactions.

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services

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.

Social Anxiety can be a deeply personal and unique challenge for each of us. The factors that can lead us to feel on edge or anxious in social situations ca be diverse and it is helpful to first clarify what specific factors are at play for each of us. Once we are aware of the situations and people that can lead us to feel anxious, then we can start to explore ways to reduce the intensity of those feelings and start taking more agency in those situations.

Bridget McCann
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Feeling overwhelmed in conversations, re-playing what you said in your mind after an interaction, or assuming people perceive you in a certain regard; these are some of the ways that social anxiety can show up in our lives. I have experience helping clients navigate social anxiety through identifying triggers, focusing on what is in your control, and essentially freeing yourself from the pressures you place on yourself. We can work together to create a plan to set you up for success and to instil self-confidence.
