Social Phobia

Fast and Natural Relief with the Social Strategies

Fear of People situations and Social Phobia is very common, and if you have experienced the fear and tension in social situations then you will know exactly what I mean. Perhaps you have been afraid to speak to people for fear of all eyes being focussed upon you, and perhaps you will forget or muddle what you intended to say, and then you will appear foolish. Perhaps you have feared that people are judging you, or that they will not like you because you feel clumsy and awkward. Maybe you have noticed the tension in others because your body language and attitude is not welcoming to the people that you meet. The tension that this crerates in you and others tends to isolate you from a group, and so you believe that people do not like you, and of course then your fears are doubly reinforced and your problem persists.


“The strategies are so simple but really effective–I should have thought of this! I made great progress in just three days, using only the first two strategies. In fact I haven’t even tried them all yet, but I am more than satisfied already! Thanks…this is an excellent program.”

Overcome Public Speaking Anxiety


“No Longer Feel Sick Through Fear And Panic…By Discovering The Secrets The World Champions Of Public Speaking Use”


CLICK HERE!


The act of Public Speaking is feared by the majority of the population even more so that death itself, so major studies have revealed! It is however a fear worth defeating and a skill worth mastering if you can, as to do so will boost your confidence tremendously and enhance greatly your career and social opportunity.

An eminent psychologist once said “do what you fear and death of fear is certain” and he was right! Most of us who suffer with this anxiety spend considerable energy avoiding public speaking situations, but if we were to meet the challenge head on, we would very soon have our fears under control.  So ok, you have a public speaking engagement that you are dreading, it’s a week before the event and your anxiety levels are rising, perhaps the event is constantly on you mind,  and maybe you are even having sleepless nights. You need help and fast, so what do you do?

Analyse your fear – it’s not speaking in public is it? If you can talk to one person, you can talk to one thousand can’t you – what’s the difference? Dig deep what are you afraid of? Appearing foolislh and nervous in front of peers perhaps?  Drying up is a major concern too, and not coping with the fear and having to make a quick escape is usually the next. So how can you avoid these?

1. Fear is your friend! Actors, sportsmen, and performers of all kinds need a little adrenaline to help them perform to the optimum. You just need to keep that fear under control, so you must prepare well in advance, know almost by heart what you are going to say, and rehearse several times. If you fail to prepare, you are preparing to fail so learn your speech and only use bullet points on the day-don’t read it to your audience. Learning your speech will give you enough confidence to get you started, and after a good start you will be flying!

2. Check out the venue before the day if possible, and get a feel for it. Then rehearse the event in your mind over and over when you go to bed. See yourself speaking confidently with calm self assurance and your audience interested, engaged, and responding favourably. This will really give you an edge, and where your mind goes successfully, your body will be sure to follow!

3. One the day of the event, steer clear of caffeine and alcohol, they will not help you, and caffeine can really push your anxiety over the edge and out of manageable limits. Breathe slowly and deeply, in for a count of 7 and out for a count of 12, this will reduce the anxiety and your nervous system will start to kick in a relaxation response.

4.  A few minutes before the event, whilst breathing deeply, remember a significant success moment in your life that you’ve prepared in your mind. Maybe a sports triumph or an exam success, a promotion, a hot date – anything that made you feel really good about yourself. Wallow in that success for a few minutes and the feelings that it generated. This will calm you mind also enough to get you started.

5.  You’re on and running, pick a friendly face and engage with them, they will respond and you will start to relax. You’ve prepared, you’ve breathed slowly, you’ve had a good start and you are sticking to the script that you rehearsed and memorised and you’re doing fine. If appropriate, ask your audience a question, or invite their questions. This will take the spotlight of you and make your audience think, and see, YOU are now in control, and the audience are being guided by you! Slow down and do not rush to the end. If you find yourself hurrying, just breathe and have few seconds break, you are in control and you just take your time. A good conclusion will make you feel happy and content with your performance.

You’ve done it so congratulate yourself and be so proud of what you have achieved, and do it again soon!

Fast Phobia Cure

With this System You Will Quickly and Easily Replace your fears with Feelings of Calm, Comfort, and Security….

If you suffer from phobias, anxiety or PTSD you will be only too aware of the misery the conditions create. They leave us worn and depleted and they steal the quality of our lives. Often people are housebound because they fear going out and possibly being confronted with potentially threatening situations. We know that our fears are not always rational, and do not stand up to logic, but unfortunately this does not change the way we feel and so our problems persist.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy seems to be the favoured approach by most medical practitioners, although this “talking therapy” does not often work so well for conditions that are almost totally driven by our subconscious mind. CBT requires us to think upon our fears, but again our subconscious minds do not respond naturally to logic.

Graduated exposure therapy, undoubtedly has helped some to calm their fears, but the process is extremely uncomfortable for the patient, and there is no guarantee of permanent relief. Prescribed mind changing medication is favoured by many too, but they can be addictive, and often the side effects are as bad as or worse than the conditions they purport to help.

For effective and permanent relief the cause needs to be addressed at root level – that is at subconscious mind level. Our minds have learned, and memorised the fears, and these are replayed to us as the situation presents itself, and our emotional reaction is based upon our memorised perception of past events.  There is now a fast effective and painless process called “imagination creation” which will train your mind to literally forget why it should be fearful. Your perception of the event is therefore changed, and your fearful emotional reaction is replaced by one of calm, comfort and security.

The process is perfectly safe reliable and can be learned quickly and simply at home. This fast phobia cure is indeed successful for 97% of users, and has been featured on the Discovery TV channel.

Agoraphobia and Panic Attacks

There is phobia that is linked to the experience of panic attacks, and that is agoraphobia. Agoraphobia is the fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places such as shopping markets. It is a fear associated with leaving a safe zone, such as the home.

Because of a feeling of being vulnerable, people who experience this fear often suffer from panic attacks in these “open” situations. It is true to say many people who have regular panic attacks experience different degrees of agoraphobia. Some have a lingering background anxiety about being away from home should they experience a panic attack. Other people are so immobilized by this fear that they find it very difficult to leave their home for even a short period.

The thinking behind agoraphobia usually follows the line that were a panic attack to occur, who would look after the person, how would he or she get the assistance and reassurance they needed? The vulnerability grows from the feeling that once victims of agoraphobia are caught in the anxiety, they are suddenly unable to look after themselves and are therefore at the mercy of the place they find themselves in and the strangers around them. In its extreme form, agoraphobia and panic attacks can lead to a situation where people become housebound for numerous years. Please note, this is by no means a hopeless situation, and I always need to reinforce the fact that something only becomes hopeless once the person really believes that to be the case.

To begin with, the primary issue that needs to be addressed is the belief in the safe zone. To clarify, when I talk about safe zone, I am referring to the zone where the person believes panic attacks do not occur, or at least occur infrequently. As comfort is found there, it is where the person tends to spend more and more time. The safe zone of anxiety is a myth sustained by the mind. The mind has developed a habit of thinking that dictates that being inside the safe zone is the only place to feel secure and avoid agoraphobia and panic attacks. If agoraphobia is an issue for you, watch as your mind comes up with reasons why it believes only a certain area is safe and another is not. Those reasons range from being near the phone or people you trust to having familiar physical surroundings to reassure you.

The reality of anxiety is that there is no such thing as a safe zone. There is nothing life threatening about a panic attack, and therefore sitting at home is the same as sitting under the stars on a desert island. Of course, your mind will immediately rush to tell you that a desert island is a ridiculous place to be as there are no hospitals, no tranquillisers, no doctors, NO SAFETY.

You need to review your previous experiences of panic attacks. Aren’t you still here, alive and well, after all those attacks during which you were convinced you were going to die?

It may be that on occasions you have been driven to the hospital where they did medicate you to calm you down, but do you really believe that you would not have survived were it not for the drugs? You would have. If the same bout of anxiety had occurred on this desert island, it too would have passed, even if you were all alone. Yes, when it comes to conditions that need medical attention such as asthma, diabetes, and a whole litany or other conditions, then having medical aid nearby is a big asset, but no doctor in the world would tell someone with anxiety that there are only specific safe zones in which she or he can move.

As I know more than anyone how terrifying it can feel to move out of your safe zone as the feeling of fear is welling up inside, I do not wish to sound harsh. This course is not about chastising people for their behaviours. It is a way of looking together at solutions and seeing through the myths that form prison walls. The goal is to enable you to return to a richer and more meaningful life and ultimately defeat your agoraphobia and panic attacks. I also realize that people around you cannot understand why a trip to shops would cause you such discomfort. You will have to forgive them and try not to be upset by their lack of understanding of your problem.

If an individual such as a partner or family member has not had a similar anxiety issue, that person may often find it hard to understand and empathize with what you are going through. I am sure you have been dragged out of the house numerous times against your will, kicking and screaming. This can then lead to tensions and arguments and is upsetting as it can make you feel less understood by those around you. People around agoraphobics are often simply trying what they feel is best. If you can see that their intentions are well meaning (although often misguided), then you will be able to relate to them better and help sooth any potential conflicts.

There is one thing I am sure you will agree with, and that is that the only person who will get you out of agoraphobic thinking is yourself. These are your thoughts, and only you can begin to change that pattern. Dealing with long term agoraphobia and panic attacks is a slow process to begin with, but once the results start happening, it moves faster and faster until you reach a point where you will find it hard to believe that going out was such a difficult task.
