Therapy
You may have had a traumatic or difficult experience in the past which created strong feelings, difficult emotions and anxiety. This could be causing your shyness and lack of confidence. A course of gentle effective therapy will allow you to put the experience into context, allowing you to understand the event with an adult perspective. Children absorb blame and accept reponsibility for bad experiences, once you begin to let this go and feel differently about yourself the symptoms of social anxiety you are experiencing will begin to disappear.
Lifespan Integration is a gentle and effective therapy which can change your reactions to people and events, creating new ways of thinking and feeling.
