Overcome your social phobia
At long last I am beginning to have a social life, I am overcoming my shyness and have joined Salsa dance classes – six months ago I would never have thought this was possible. – Mr MW, Guildford.
Rational emotive behaviour therapy and clinical hypnotherapy – The proven treatment to overcome your social phobia
Your recovery commences when you attend for your pre-treatment comprehensive assessment. At this session we will examine and discuss all the factors that may have led to your social phobia. We will examine family issues, childhood memories, relationship problems, employment difficulties and other social pressures. We of course understand how debilitating this condition is and therefore we ensure that you are treated in a sympathetic, sensitive and caring manner in total confidence.
We will then prepare a therapy programme that will bring about your recovery and help you overcome your social phobia. This treatment will be based upon rational emotive behavioural hypnotherapy. These sessions will be at regular weekly intervals.
Why is rational emotive behaviour hypnotherapy successful in treating your social phobia?
REBH will encourage you to start thinking more positively about yourself, others and life in general. Consequently your thoughts will become healthier and more rational, your emotions will become positive, influencing your behaviours as well. The clinical hypnotherapy element of your treatment will address deeper underlying issues that are lodged within your sub-conscious mind. Treatments will include ego strengthening, relaxation and assertiveness training. We will encourage you to face situations that you have been afraid of in the past and help restore your confidence to normal levels.
