I read in Dublin’s Metro newspaper that the Oxytocin, a hormone that women produce in labour, is being seen as a salvation for those suffering from shyness. While it therapy it sounds better than self medicating with alchohol and its disastrous effects, wouldn’t it be better to learn how to control the symptoms from inside instead of relying on something external. The problem comes from inside and hypnotherapy can help you regain control of the symptoms which to now have been controlling and dominating one’s life in the form of chronic shyness, blushing, sweating profusely, nervousness, shaking. Imagine the empowerment it would give you by reprogramming your mind, as you would your computer, to manage shyness, learning to even overcome. Hypnotherapy helps you to uncover the reason for your shyness and then we look to your future as being confident and happy. By using hypnotherapy which is solution focused a short sharp course (no more than 10 – 12 sessions) can release you from the shyness you experience.
Exercise: Please read through first.
- Close your eyes for a few moments;
- Imagine what life would be like for you to feel comfortable in a group situation whether it is with friends or strangers or both.
- Add as much detail as possible – hear the sounds, smell the smells and see the pictures. Add movement – make it as though you are watching a movie/video.
- You are feeling comfortable, your hands are dry, your stomach is at ease, your heart beats at a normal rhythm, your face is pale. Feels good, doesn’t it?
- You are enjoying yourself, feeling comfortable and relaxed.
- Notice where in your body you feel this good feeling – is it your head, your chest, your stomach (there is no right or wrong answer) and give it a shape and colour. Make it bigger and brighter so it fills your whole body. Feeling wonderful.
- Now open your eyes.
- How great are your feeling right now and you did this by yourself.
Using hypnotherapy you can learn relaxation techniques and practice visualisation exercises. The therapy part helps to recall the times when you “learned” to be shy and withdrawing from groups. Then I help you to re-learn a new way of behaving.
So to overcome shyness and gain confidence and be comfortable in yourself, think about hypnotherapy and the results will speak for themselves.
