Lots of people have some degree of social anxiety, that uncomfortableness we feel when faced with new people and new situations. We will discuss some of the challenges but more importantly, share some ways to overcome social anxiety through traditional and hypnotic approaches. If all goes well, we will have 2 exercises, a pre and post, to demonstrate the power of focused awareness, accessing resource states to create instant rapport with others.

Bruno, my rescue pit-mix, really enjoyed having me home during the pandemic.

As I returned to the office, he let me know, in his own doggy way, that he was lonely.

So, we rescued a kitten, Loki.

From the moment he arrived on this planet, Loki has felt safe. The result is a kitten that is quick to explore, engage and be vulnerable ( e.g. he gives everyone access to his fuzzy belly).

And that is good because Bruno takes persistence, and really being “ in- tune”, if you want to be Bruno’s friend.

Unlike Loki, Bruno’s puppyhood was not someplace he felt safe.

While much improved after years with me, he remains hyper-vigilant, with many “ triggers” and “walls”, he goes into fight/flight quickly.Unfortunately, his own fear is in the way of his getting more friends, love and attention, the very things he lives for!

It sure would be easier if Bruno could choose to change,….but of course, he is a dog.

You though, CAN CHOOSE to CHANGE.

Are you more like Loki, more like Bruno, or somewhere in between? Are you satisfied with your current way of interacting with others? The quantity and quality of your relationships?

Fully vaccinated, I am back in my office, and back out in the world, with an appropriate level of caution.

Hope to see you all out there again soon.

It’s sooooo hot, the beaches and pools are swimming with throngs of people seeking to stay cool…

all in various stages of both physical and emotional “nakedness”.

Now, some folks are going to wear speedos proudly,

And some would rather die than wear a thong at all… and then there are all those shades of “confidence” in between...

If you are uncomfortable being so vulnerable at the beach, it does makes for a fewer options in enjoying the moment fully and freely.

What we wear to the beach, or don’t wear, is just another manifestation of core, unconsciously held patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving about ourselves and others. Patterns that beg the question, who is doing the judging first? Patterns that play out in other parts of our life…

If these unconscious patterns make you happy-GREAT.

If they could use some updating, join us for our FREE July Meetup "Improving Social Skills; Hypnosis and Life Mastery”, where we will explore and practice tools for developing greater confidence, and less self-conscious-ness, in any social situation.

“The Gain Social Excellence-5 Pack”is our featured affiliate recording if you would rather have greater social confidence NOW, before the beach season is over.

“Hypnosis-Tools for Change” is the theme of the Fall 2019 Hypnosis Education Association of Florida’s Orlando Conference (November 8-10th). The official “Call for Presenters” is now open. Come play with us! All hypnosis enthusiasts are welcomed. http://heahypnosis.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HEA-Presenter-Proposal-Guidelines-6.20.18.pdf
