Is social anxiety disorder restricting your lifestyle?
By Alex Christie (BA Hons, LCHE, MARH, B.Inst.A.T.)
Social anxiety disorder is the third largest mental health problem in the world today. If you suffer from social anxiety disorder you cannot relax in the company of other people. You feel negatively judged by others, which causes feelings of acute anxiety and fear to arise. Because of this you tend to avoid social situations where you might meet other people.
Meeting authority figures can be especially threatening if you have social anxiety disorder. Meetings with superiors may cause your throat to constrict, you may tremble or twitch, sweat profusely, and you might blush or turn red. You will be certain you said and did the wrong thing and presented yourself poorly. You may not remember a conversation you just had as you are so concerned about how you appear to your superior.
If you have social anxiety disorder, attending a job interview is torture. You believe your anxiety will give you away. You will be convinced you look awkward, be hesitant, blush, and you are certain that you are going to say the wrong thing. You know you could do the job well if you could just get past the interview.
Because people with social anxiety disorder have not heard of others with their problem, and have never seen it discussed in papers or on television, they believe they are the alone in having these incapacitating symptoms. Not wanting others to judge them for feeling as they do they keep quiet about their anxieties.
Even though people with social anxiety disorder know that others are not judging them all the time, trying to humiliate or expose them, this does not change the way they feel. They might realize their anxiety is irrational, but this does not stop the anxiety arising.
Social anxiety disorder can be overcome with the Sedona Method®. This method offers you a way of letting go of these anxious emotions as they arise. Certain irrational fears will be causing your feelings of anxiety. The Sedona Method® will enable you to recognise what these are, and to let them go from the very root. The beauty of the Sedona Method® is that you can learn how to release your fears and anxieties in one-to-one sessions with a qualified Sedona Method instructor. And once you have learned the method you can practice this in the privacy of your home until you feel ready to use it in public.
Once learned the Sedona Method® will be with you always. You can use it anytime, anywhere, and when you most need it. You can be dissolving your feelings of anxiety during your interview, as you approach the shopping centre, or while you are speaking to your superior. The more you use the Sedona Method® in your life the more you will learn to master your emotions and see your anxieties and fears being replaced with feelings of calmness and self-confidence.

"Having been a sufferer of social anxiety disorder since 1985 following a nervous breakdown, I found that because of my fears my world was gradually closing in tighter and tighter around me. Despite treatment on the NHS, private therapy, self-help regimes, all of which helped to alleviate the suffering temporarily, I was still very, very restricted in day to day living. I tried the Sedona Method and I began to realise that my avoidance of so many things boiled down to the fact that I was constantly seeking approval. Shortly afterwards I walked out to my local shops. To my amazement there was none of the severe cramping in my legs, the usual "stabbing" sensation of fear around meeting people had lessened considerably. Thank you so much. I'm so excited!"
