Ways To Overcome Social Anxiety
If you have ever experienced social anxiety, you are not alone and know there is a way out. Social anxiety can cause immense stress and instability, which can, in turn, hinder your growth as an individual, whether that be in your career, day-to-day life, or social life with friends and family. One of the most effective solutions to overcoming social anxiety is through therapy, specially targeted towards Emotional Clearing. With treatment, you can begin your journey of self-discovery and build your confidence by unravelling the root of your social anxiety.
In this video we explore what anxiety is and where this stems from, as well as some helpful tools to use for working through anxiety.
Emotional Clearing:
Emotional clearing therapies will help you to identify, acknowledge, and release your built-up emotions, allowing you to enter a clearer, healthier state of mind. In relation to social anxiety, emotional clearing will help you to confront your concerns, deep-rooted insecurities and fears and face them head-on. The first step to any recovery is acknowledgement, so understanding why you are experiencing social anxiety and your triggers is crucial.
There are a variety of techniques to support you through this transformative journey. Through open and honest communications, the primary tool is to address the issues you face and unpack the nitty gritty. The finer the detail, the closer you are to your solution. A therapist guides you, providing a safe space to open up and confront your emotions.
Feeling More Confident:
People eventually feel more confident as Emotional Clearing breaks down the emotional walls that lead to social anxiety. Using positive visualisation, therapists and clients create coping strategies, affirmations, and exercises. People who use this multidimensional strategy feel more confident and capable while navigating social settings.
CBT:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is often incorporated into your therapy sessions to transform how you perceive social interactions. This is done through recognising patterns and correcting faulty thinking, which paves the way to a more positive outlook on life and social situations. CBT essentially empowers individuals to replace negativity with brighter, affirmative thoughts, promoting emotional resilience.
Steps To Overcome Anxiety:
Overcoming social anxiety requires your commitment. The appropriate resources, such as therapy, will guide you safely and effectively through your emotional journey. Therapy sessions which focus on emotional clearing can often be life-changing, which may leave you wondering why you didn’t begin sooner. It’s crucial to work with a therapist or counsellor who is qualified and who you trust and respect. Taking the first step is the scariest, but the further you walk, the more confident you become.
