Numerous studies have demonstrated that hypnosis is an effective treatment for social anxiety, particularly when used alongside other therapeutic methods. Additionally, hypnotherapy has been found to enhance the efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and can be beneficial for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Certain experiences have been identified as significant predictors of severe social anxiety, including physical, sexual, or emotional abuse; bullying or peer teasing; and family issues such as domestic violence and divorce.

The effectiveness of hypnosis can vary among individuals and often depends on their commitment to the process. Nonetheless, hypnotherapy generally proves effective for the majority of people, most of the time, and can address a wide range of issues, including anxiety.

Symptoms of social anxiety disorder often begin during the teenage years. However, encounters such as meeting new people, delivering a public speech, or making a significant work presentation may trigger symptoms for the first time. Additionally, having a noticeable appearance or condition can also provoke these symptoms.

If not addressed, social phobia can significantly impair quality of life. Common complications may include relying on alcohol to manage anxiety during social situations, which can lead to alcohol abuse.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can assist in overcoming social anxiety by providing a supportive environment to explore and visualize preferred responses to challenging situations. The techniques used in this approach help you gain perspective, boost self-confidence, and build resilience for the future.

In rare cases, improvement can be seen immediately, while more commonly, some benefits become evident within a few weeks of undergoing hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy can assist in breaking the cycle of panic attacks and alleviating anxiety by addressing the underlying thoughts and reactions that trigger them, helping you regain a sense of calm and control.

For some individuals, symptoms may improve with age. However, many people do not experience relief without treatment. It is important to seek assistance if you are experiencing symptoms, as there are effective treatments, including hypnotherapy, available to help manage the condition.

A typical course of clinical hypnotherapy consists of approximately 4 to 6 sessions. Since individual needs vary, if additional sessions are required, your therapist will consult with you and their clinical supervisor to determine the most appropriate plan.

Through techniques such as relaxation, concentration, and visualization, your therapist will guide you into a hypnotic state to access your subconscious mind. This process enables you to implement positive changes, address negative patterns, and achieve specific objectives, such as reducing stress, overcoming fears, or enhancing self-confidence.

Hypnotherapy is a form of psychological therapy that employs hypnosis to address various mental and physical health conditions. It can also assist in changing habits. Additionally, some therapists use hypnosis to enhance the effectiveness of other psychological treatments or pain management strategies.

Unlike counselling, which typically requires a long-term commitment, hypnotherapy often provides support for overcoming or managing issues within a shorter period. This can be particularly appealing to individuals seeking relief from phobias, addictions, or trauma-related symptoms.

Most individuals are able to recall most events that occur during hypnosis, though some may not remember every detail. It is common to forget minor, trivial aspects. However, a small percentage of people may not remember their experiences during hypnosis at all.

Hypnosis is not recommended for individuals who suffer from psychosis, severe depression, or an alcohol or drug problem.
