London Event Marks the Beginning of the End of Social Anxiety

Leading psychologists and therapists are hosting a unique, one day, event that is open to anyone confronted by issues of anxiety and low self-esteem. Guests will be given the rare opportunity to spend the day sampling a range of different therapies that promote confidence, self assurance and help reverse the negative thought patterns associated with social anxiety.

Social anxiety is one of the most under recognised conditions in Britain, affecting up to 13 people in 100. Those affected typically experience feelings of dread and nervousness in the build up to a feared situation and often replay events in their minds, analysing how they could have performed better. Physical symptoms such as trembling, blushing, stammering and sweating are also common.

Steve Light, one of the event organisers and a previous sufferer, found his extreme shyness to be a debilitating trait of the disorder that would restrict him from communicating in the most common social situations. Today he is transformed and is actively promoting a way forward for other sufferers.

Life for Steve in the past was an uphill struggle, going from job to job and feeling increasingly isolated in his daily life. Finding it too difficult to talk on the phone and perform simple tasks such as shopping for food, he felt that he was stuck in a vicious cycle. After three years of hesitation, he finally took the plunge and attended a local self-help group. “It was the best decision I’ve made in regards to overcoming social anxiety. I felt relieved that there were other people like me, I felt really supported within the group and made some really good friends from it”.

TFT is one of the therapies on offer at the event, and will be the subject of a seminar by its founder, American psychologist, Roger J. Callahan. The treatment uses specialized "tapping" with the fingers at meridian points on the upper body and hands, and is most well known for it’s use by high profile Psychotherapist Paul McKenna. Ten years after its introduction in the UK an increasing numbers of senior Psychologists, Doctors and Consultants are discovering it’s remarkable ability to resolve even complex issues in a fraction of the time taken by conventional approaches.

Jennifer Wild, a leading psychologist at the London Institute of Psychiatry will also be running a workshop at the event. The institute is considered to be one of the most advanced in the world for the psychological treatment of social anxiety, and Jennifer’s work has contributed towards the development of a unique form of CBT that has been proven to be around 80% effective in eliminating the disorder.

Charlene Seal, also an event organiser, feels that it is important for sufferers to choose the therapy that is right for them. “This event will help to demystify the various treatment options, by providing reputable sources of information, and enabling guests to experience the therapies first hand. Social anxiety is such a common problem, but something can be done about it and there is no need for people to feel that they have to live with it. I personally spent many years feeling constrained and limited and was unable to talk about it because of my concern about what other people would think. I look back on this now and wish that I had have taken action sooner. What I would say to anyone in that position is that it’s ok, you’re not alone and this needn’t restrict you in your life.”
