Social Phobia just like any other phobia is a fear. When someone is suffering from social phobia or social anxiety the focus of fear is generally on how others see them and what others think of them.

This anxiety often produces such intense feelings of being judged, humiliated or embarrassed that every day situations become uncomfortable sometimes to the extent that these situations will be avoided at all costs and should the sufferer be forced to face the situation it will create high levels of anxiety which can lead to panic attacks.

A constant sense of being watched and judged on  their looks or their actions can lead to a avoidance of responsibility or attention which prevents some suffering social phobia from enjoying life and progressing in their chosen profession.

Here is a short list of some common symptoms and behaviours caused by social phobia;

I provide a very effective treatment for removing your phobia. Understanding your phobia is not enough, conscious understanding of phobias produces no real relief from phobic responses like fear, shaking, feeling faint, panic, palpitations, sweating etc and all the side effects of reacting in this way; worrying what people will think of you, not being able to do certain 'normal' things because of your phobia, so we won't be making you hold large spiders ,climb ladders or eat foods you hate!

We know that Phobias prevent many people from doing what they would love to do in their lives, holidays abroad due to flying phobias, eating certain foods due to Emetophobia (a fear of being sick) from a fear of spiders (arachnophobia) to not being able to speak in public (glossophobia) phobias can be very restrictive on your life.

I treat the cause of your phobia, removing the 'unconscious' cause of the problem offers a permanent 'cure' of your phobia, removing the symptoms for good. 

Phobia s are a symbolic representation of internal anxiety

A symbolic representation of an internal anxiety. Although some Phobias appear  to serve an obvious purpose (fear of fire, drowning, heights etc.) others seem  to make no sense at all but as strange as some phobias seem your mind thinks they are all serving an important purpose.

Many people suffer phobic reactions to things from feeling a little bit silly about something to a full blown panic attack when they are forced to face their phobia.

Most Phobias are not directly related to the cause of the emotion, they are 'symbolic of it'.

Phobias are often called fears and fears are often thought of as phobias but they are quite different to each other. Fear has an obvious focus on danger to us. Phobias are irrational, excessive reactions to often non dangerous objects animals or situations yet they cause huge amounts of anxiety, heart pounding, tremors, shortness of breath, dizziness etc.
