Cognitive Hypnotherapy for Social Anxiety in Milton Keynes

What is social anxiety?

Social anxiety is the fear of social situations, and the interaction with other people that can automatically bring on feelings of self-consciousness, judgment, evaluation, and inferiority.

Put another way, social anxiety is the fear and anxiety of being judged and evaluated negatively by other people, leading to feelings of inadequacy, embarrassment, humiliation, and depression.

Social anxiety disorder (formerly termed social phobia) is a much more common problem than past estimates have led us to believe.  Millions of people all over the world suffer from social anxiety  every day. It is estimated that 7-8% of the population suffers from some form of social anxiety at the present time.  Cognitive Hypnotherapy may help you overcome this devastating issue.
