Many people experience fear and anxiety, and this does not prevent them from living and working. But sometimes the fear becomes so intense that it makes you avoid communication. This mental state is called social phobia and is a disorder that should not be ignored.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure you have a phobia, but keep in mind that this is about pathology, and not about intuitive fear, which often helps to survive. The most common phobias are: fear of heights, bridges, airplanes, some animals. Someone is afraid of insects, blood, people of a different nationality, as well as loneliness, poverty, etc.
Step 2
The main cause of social anxiety is fear of failure. A person suffering from such a disorder is afraid of being disgraced in society, ridiculed or humiliated. It seems to him that everyone pays attention to him, he experiences uncertainty in his actions and unreasonable shame. Extremely low self-esteem only contributes to this behavior.
Step 3
Physically, social phobia is manifested by an increased heart rate or arrhythmia, a feeling of heaviness in the muscles and in some organs. In addition, increased sweating, nervous blush, hand tremors, embarrassment are possible.
Step 4
Remember your childhood and the circumstances of acquired fear. Perhaps you will only wonder how you could think so then. It often happens that the roots of phobias are found in the suffered psychological trauma at a young age. Usually, a child's gaze differs from an adult's gaze on the same situation. Everything seems big to the child and he may think that he can never cope with it.
Step 5
Please note that one of the most effective treatments for such phobias is hypnosis, self-hypnosis, behavioral therapy, and other methods. They allow you to find out the cause of social anxiety and eliminate it over time.
Step 6
Use the experience of specialist doctors. To eradicate social phobia is, of course, better under their supervision. But if for some reason you want to get rid of the fear of communication on your own using hypnosis techniques, then be sure to convince yourself that you can easily get out of the trance at the right time. This is very important if, while exercising, you repeatedly experience negative manifestations of phobias in the events of your life, but at the same time you cannot cope with emotions and injure your psyche.
Step 7
As you explore the phobia, be aware of what it is depriving you of. Then choose a method by which you will get rid of it. For example, remembering by association will help you understand when and how your phobia started. Once you understand its source, perhaps you will understand the reasons for your unfounded fears and anxieties, which are often companions of such conditions. However, this does not mean that you will permanently get rid of the fear that was associated with the phobia. But we can safely conclude that you will be able to manage this fear and act independently of it.
