I tried hypnotherapy about 3 years ago, it was my first attempt at trying to do something to start overcoming SA.
It didn't work, simple as that. Why? Because I didn't understand back then why I was suffering the way I did - i.e. anxiety and lacking confidence.
I had about 7 sessions and it was a waste of time.
But, one amazing thing came out of it. My hypnotherapist told me I was not ill and I suffer this lack of confidence and anxiety for a reason and opened my mind up to trying to understand how I felt and trying to overcome SA.
3 years on I am at a stage where I am within touching distance of overcoming SA. And no I was not ill whatsoever and neither are you. Sorry if you don't like to hear that, but there is nothing wrong with you, you are anxious as its a way to protect yourself from getting hurt by negative comments, insults, ridicule, being laughed at, etc.
I will overcome my SA in 2007 I am 100000000000% certain of it.
The answers to SA come from working on this yourself. If I can do it, then anyone can!
