I treat social anxiety using CBT and DBT methodology. These methodologies are used to examine our behaviors and learn the management of our big feelings.
Social anxiety can often feel like a heavy burden, restricting you from fully enjoying social interactions and participating in various activities. When you overcome social anxiety, you experience a newfound freedom to express yourself authentically, engage with others confidently, and pursue opportunities without fear of judgment or rejection.
With hypnosis, we can help your subconscious mind release whatever it is that has been keeping you from being the relaxed, confident person you want to be, allowing you to have a social life that is enjoyable and rewarding.
Overcoming social anxiety can be a transformative experience, allowing you to engage more fully in your personal and professional life. My approach leverages behavioral and cognitive-behavioral (CBT) therapies, which are highly effective in treating social anxiety. Through methods such as exposure therapy and cognitive restructuring, we will work together to confront and reframe the negative thoughts and behaviors that contribute to your anxiety in social situations. By gradually facing feared social scenarios and developing new coping strategies, you can build confidence, improve social skills, and reduce anxiety, ultimately leading to more meaningful and satisfying interactions.
Social connections and interactions can be supportive in building a meaningful and connective life. Working through, identifying impact to nervous system and skill building, interaction practice.
Getting to the root cause can be an important factor while cultivating an effective skill set to combat the discomforts of feeling like, get me the heck out of here!! I help you reframe your thoughts and tools to decrease the overwhelming thoughts of doom through cognitive therapy and potential exposure therapy when ready and necessary .
If social interactions fill you with dread, I can help you develop coping mechanisms, challenge anxious thoughts, and gradually build confidence in social settings. Together, we'll create a life where you feel comfortable and connected.
Social Anxiety has the potential to hold us back from forming the relationships we want or achieving the goals we have made. Social Anxiety can feel crippling and defeating. My approach to handling social anxiety is to affirm the challenge it causes, instill hope for the future, and provide tools to help.
I see Social Anxiety through the lens of a continuum -- Most people have experienced some form of nervousness, anxiety, or fear around the idea or situation of interacting with others, at some time in their life. Depending on the client's perception of their need for intervention, I offer a variety of approaches ranging from narrative to mindfulness to behavioral, and I'm happy to work in collaboration with clients' other wellness providers to arrive at their goals.
