RE: DTube Coffee Shop Chat: My Solution To Social Anxiety | D.Chat EP. 26
@timothyphoenix wow it's great to connect man! I've had similar experiences as yourself. I definitely feel like having those experiences are the best way to learn how to overcome them and help others to do so as well.
I agree with the concept of avoiding coping with what you are feeling. That's essentially avoidance as it suggests that this thing you are experiencing is a permanent thing when in reality is very transient, dynamic, and useful once you discover the root cause!
I frequently utilize NLP, Neuro-Semantics, and other psychotherapy methods to help work through these types of things. Hypnotherapy hasn't been as effective for me but I've done it on friends and clients before and it's been quite helpful for them!
Awesome to hear that CBT has been effective for you as well. That's one thing I haven't explored much.
Looking forward to seeing your content man. Seems like we have similar interests! Thanks for the awesome comment. Cheers bro!
Seriously man, you gotta do CBT. I always recommend to do CBT even if something else is working, because it will give you the tools for LIFE which will prevent anxiety ever coming back. Don't even wait, go and book a session if you can. I live in the UK and it was free where I live, online too, don't even have to speak to anyone!
If you can afford it, try an energy healing session - Reiki is the most well known energy healing technique. It's quite an experience and if you feel it, it may even change your entire world view! Go into it open minded and relaxed and it is more likley to work.
Good luck!
