Has Social Anxiety Got You by the Short Hairs ... - Health and Fitness

If social anxiety has you paralysed, you?re missing out on so many good experiences. Would you like to help yourself lose some of those horrible fears? You actually can, with the new acupressure self-help technique called EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques).

Lots of other people have reported boosting their self-confidence through EFT, and finding out how much richer life becomes.

EFT tapping is simple EFT is a technique which needs you to gently fingertap on key acupuncture points on your face and body while you briefly focus on a specific problem.

What this does is simply balance your meridian energy system, so it?s totally safe. But results can be awesome, surprising, and often fast.

?How on Earth could tapping help me??

What is unexpected is the huge variety of life improvements you could achieve through focussing this fast technique on various aspects of your life. You can read accounts online and in EFT books by countless people who have already helped themselves this way.

A little effort in learning, and in using this technique when you?re not feeling great, can open up so much permanent improvement in your social anxiety problems, that in a while, it?s likely you?ll find that you can?t believe yourself.

?What do I have to do??

Let?s take a hypothetical case.

When teenage Jim?s out in public, he can?t stop thinking that everyone is looking at him and judging him. He ?knows? that none of those people will like what they see, he can read their minds.

But he?s desperate to go on a date with a lovely new girl he did manage to have a conversation with. He?s agonising now about how it will all go wrong. He?ll be tongue-tied, fall over his feet, make a fool of himself. She?ll be disgusted and brush him off. Then he?ll be back to Square 1, which he finds an uncomfortable place rather than an exciting challenge.

As an EFT tapper, Jim would list separately every fear he has about the date, and he would rate the intensity of each fear 0-10, 10 being the greatest.

Then he would apply the basic 30-second tapping routine he has learned, to each fear separately. He would aim at reaching 0 for each count.

As his stress lowers on each point, he would automatically find that his negative thinking improves, because that?s how it works. And it could work in minutes. For example, focusing on his thought, ?Even though I know I?ll make a fool of myself?? while he taps, Jim would soon find himself thinking, ?Well, maybe not all the time??

As he continues the tapping routine, he could easily lower this fear, and even reach 0.

At that point he?s likely to feel optimistic that even if he is awkward at some point in the date, it could be something so small that she won?t even notice. Or maybe he feels now that he won?t look awkward at all. And maybe she?s feeling nervous too, so as he has stopped feeling so fearful himself, he might concentrate on helping her feel easier.

And so on, right through the range of his paralysing fears.

What?s the likely result? New confidence! He?s now willing to take a chance! At the very least, this date will give him more experience around girls. And she does want to go on this date with him. Go, man!

A deeper cause for social anxiety

The above approach is EFT?s help method for current fears and doubts, and it?s priceless. Even a small improvement is valuable.

But a deeper approach is possible. What has caused Jim?s extreme nervousness? There is more than adolescent worries going on here. Something or someone undermined Jim?s confidence in himself and in life, much earlier. But that does not have to be a life sentence.

As an energy method, EFT can also identify and neutralise past causes, although Jim might need more experienced EFT help to make this permanent improvement.

Social anxiety causes misery, but now you can do something about it yourself, in an easy, simple way that has a high success rate. And no-one has to know what you?re doing! EFT is tops for anxiety and stress.
