IEMT & Hypnotherapy for Social Anxiety
Being around people should not feel like exposure.
And yet, in certain rooms, with certain groups, or in certain situations, you feel tense, self-conscious, and hyper-aware of yourself.
You monitor what you say.
You question how you are perceived.
You leave interactions replaying what happened.
This is not shyness.
It is not incompetence.
It is a nervous system that does not feel safe socially.
Social anxiety is not simply disliking small talk. And it is not as simple as being afraid of people.
It is the persistent sense that you are being evaluated, and that you might come up short.
You may appear composed. You may function perfectly well at work. You may be articulate and intelligent. No one knows what is going on inside of you.
You notice facial expressions, tone shifts, and awkward pauses. You wonder whether you said too much or not enough. You scan for everything that could prove what you think about yourself already.
You are not afraid of people in general. You have a circle of friends, and even then, when you think you could be comfortable, the moment you feel all attention on you, the looks, or a smirk, you are afraid of what their judgment might mean about you.
What Social Anxiety Is Really About
Social anxiety isn’t shyness. It is usually tied to earlier experiences of humiliation, exclusion, criticism, or subtle invalidation. At some point, being visible in a group carried emotional cost. Your nervous system adapts by becoming vigilant. It tries to prevent rejection by anticipating it.
The problem is that this vigilance becomes constant.
Even neutral situations feel charged, and you begin to treat everyday moments like danger. You avoid, you shrink, or you push through—exhausted either way. Relief comes when your body stops bracing for attack, and you can actually show up as yourself.
Why Logic Alone Does Not Solve It
You may know that most people are not analyzing you as intensely as you analyze yourself.
You may know that one awkward moment does not define you. But insight does not erase conditioning.
If your system learned that social exposure was risky, it will continue to react until that learning is updated.
This is not about becoming more extroverted. It is more about no longer bracing.
How I Work With Social Anxiety
We identify the specific experiences that shaped your fear of social evaluation.
Using IEMT and focused hypnotherapy, we work with the emotional imprint of those moments.
When the intensity shifts, your reaction shifts.
You may still prefer smaller groups. You may still need time alone.
But you are no longer internally on trial.
