EFT For Social Anxiety

I suffered from severe social anxiety for most of my life, unable to participate in most social situations without being overwhelmed by panic and unimaginable terror. 

It was much easier to live life from the privacy of my own home than to try to deal with the unpredictable nature of the people outside.

In my teens, within the confines of my own space, and in the company of those I loved and trusted, (not many!), it seems I was chatty, funny and often outrageous.  

But outside, with my crippling social anxiety, I was nothing, nobody, and not worth bothering about.

Despite a rich fantasy world in which I was the ultimate superstar with thousands of adoring fans, in real life, I was unable to risk doing anything that drew attention.

The truth of my existence was fear of humiliation, zero confidence, and overwhelming loneliness.

Of course, when social anxiety is really severe, it rarely stands in isolation. It is often accompanied by other issues:

  • self harm (Been there.) 
  • panic attacks (Done that.) 
  • depression (Got the tee shirt.) 

And that is just for starters! Social anxiety can lead to alcoholism, substance abuse, eating disorders, PTSD and suicide attempts.

Life with generalized social anxiety disorder is not a lot of fun.

But I was lucky. I discovered EFT. And everything changed.

For ever.
