How to deal with severe social anxiety

"There is hope for everyone" says Sophia Cayer, one of the only 29 EFT founding Masters who has been devoted to a full-time EFT practice and has been teaching EFT since 2000.

Sophia has had more than 12 000 client sessions and is known for finding core issues and working with tough challenges.

We go into depth on the things that prevent people from letting go their social anxiety. We go into why some people stay stuck, and what can be done to get unstuck.

She says: It takes courage to do the work but you will find it worthwhile. And what is great about EFT is the fact that you don't necessarily have to tell your story and get into detail. There are so many subtle ways to get to the situation, so if there's a concern to talk about things or reveal things that are uncomfortable, know there are gentle and subtle ways to get to these things and clear them. The process does not have to be horrifying or incredibly painful. Not saying their can't be or won't be moments where there will be intense emotion, but for the most part there things can be worked through in a gentle way and you really likely will be amazingly surprised with the process. And with EFT you can work on yourself in between sessions to help you find more calm resolve in daily situations.

We discuss the process of working with a practitioner, and dispel some of the myths and share what to expect.

QUOTE: I absolutely believe there is hope for everyone. I've seen people turn things around they thought were impossible. Whatever is causing the social anxiety, those things can be worked through. There are gentle and subtle ways to get to these things and clear them. The process does not have to be horrifying or incredibly painful. And you can find yourself amazingly surprised with the shifts that can happen.
