Anxiety is the fear of future pain. Social anxiety is the fear that others will judge us and that their judgments will result in rejection and that such will be painful. Let's work together to challenge and undo that painful process so you can be freer with others and connect more with them.

Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
The root of social anxiety tends to be our beliefs about what other people will think of us or whether they are safe with others. This is different than just introverted people. Social anxiety can affect a great many areas of your life but it is something that can be treated and open up your world.

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.
