How Does Hypnotherapy Work for SAD?
In certain traumatic and anxiety-provoking past events, physical and emotional reactions can become linked to the experience and moment of trauma. When you experience similar moments in the present, those previous physical and emotional reactions, whether they are positive or or negative, are reactivated. This means you re-experience the original trauma in the present.
If you are experiencing social anxiety disorder now then it is likely you experienced one or more traumatic events in the past, perhaps in your teenage or childhood years.
Panic Attack Symptom
For example, if you had a traumatic first panic attack experience when you saw a brush fire from your bedroom window as a child, and you became panicky and rubbed your nads in terror or covered your face. you are likely to experience the same physical and emotional reactions when you see a brush fire now as an adult. .
The goal of a hypnotherapeutic session for this type of anxiety would be to help you separate your body’s automatic anxiety response that you experienced in the originating trauma from what you experience in the now, as an adult.
