Social Anxiety Disorder and What You Can Do To Stop It

Social anxiety disorder appears to have become even more prevalent with lockdowns and social distancing rules around the world. For those with generalized anxiety disorder, it can be a very scary time.
Hypnotherapy has become increasingly popular as a treatment option in the last few years due to its effectiveness when using hypnosis to stop avoidance behaviours associated with SAD. Hypnosis has been used in research studies as an effective treatment for many different types of problems including addiction and eating disorders.
Hypnosis works by focusing on what we want and raising our attention towards these goals instead of distracting ourselves with thoughts about our problems or thinking negative thoughts about ourselves or others.

Secondly, these life events are too big to be processed overnight, and traumas end up causing a log-jam in the brain. That is why the memory and sensation of it will remain fresh and raw. And since these memories are not being processed, it often leads to a downward spiral of anxiety, depression, and anger.
