Social Anxiety Support

AKSA · 11-04-2009, 01:47 AM

I’ve done a few searches through previous threads and can’t find what I am looking for.

What I’m after is people’s experiences using self hypnotherapy material, in particular audio stuff. Like a recording that takes you through the hypnotism. If you have used something and it was effective (or wasn’t) I’d really be interested in hearing it. Tell the specific product if possible.

Also, your experiences with hypnotherapy and doing it yourself would be appreciated. I mean as context; have you been with a hypnotherapist before? Were the recordings or whatever useful and did you notice any changes?

My personal experience is over a year ago, when I first decided to do something about my social anxiety, I went to see a hypnotherapist for three sessions. At the stage I was I could not honestly look most people in the eye the social anxiety was that bad. During the three sessions the level of hypnotism (or depth I was in) gradually increased. The guy was kind of new age and would occasionally blurt out something about reincarnation or astrology but I honestly didn’t mind. He was overall really good at what he did. He mentioned that I got hypnotized really easily.

The end result, although I didn’t realize it straight away, was it gave me an internally developed sense of self esteem. Like there was something there and I had every right to be… me. I could actually hold eye contact comfortably with people and noticed that a core belief had either been developed or changed (I am not sure which).

So I’ve been trying to be hypnotised by doing it myself at home from a book but it doesn’t seem to work and I need some assistance.

Anyway, I’d really appreciate any recommendations anyone wants to give and a bit of background along with it. Any particular hypnotists you think are good etc

Yeah it was. I just can’t do it again on my own

Although boring uni lectures and similar environments actually send me into an involuntary trance ever since.
