Experience how hypnosis can help you overcome phone anxiety and approach conversations with newfound confidence.
Many people suffer silently from phone anxiety. Hypnosis offers an effective solution by resolving deep-seated fears and boosting self-confidence.
Whether at work or in personal matters, we often have to make phone calls in life. Sometimes it is unavoidable; other times, it’s simply much easier and quicker than searching for a contact form and waiting for a response.
Since most people haven't had particularly traumatic experiences with phones, unconscious associations are often made that don't necessarily fit together. That's why therapy for phone anxiety with hypnosis is so promising. If we want to overcome phone anxiety, we need to eliminate the unconscious causes and blockages accordingly.
Like many phobias and fears, the causes often lie in the subconscious. This does not function the same way as our conscious mind and needs to be approached differently, especially in treating social anxieties.
When we look at phone anxiety from the perspective of the subconscious mind, it’s certainly related to uncertainty. Since most people are mainly afraid of talking to strangers on the phone, this conclusion is obvious. We don't know who is on the other end of the line, how the conversation partner will react, and we have no time to think about a response, as everything happens spontaneously and in real-time.
This means that if someone is not very self-confident or is highly self-critical, making phone calls at work or home poses a risk. Our subconscious protects us from danger primarily through fear. It’s an unconscious signal of a threat, which may only exist in our imagination, but to which we can react as though it is absolutely real.
Sometimes it’s also the case that making phone calls is difficult when someone else is listening. This often involves a certain fear of judgment or criticism. If one is not skilled at tuning out distractions, this can further intimidate those affected.
This fear of making phone calls naturally leads to a kind of blockage, which then doesn’t make phone conversations much smoother. The unpleasant atmosphere or the lack of responses, for example, to unexpected questions, then confirms the fear and can lead to a full-blown phobia. If someone is terribly afraid of making phone calls, it usually didn’t start that way but has intensified over time.
So we can say that the causes of phone anxiety are often related to a lack of self-confidence, fear of judgment, and placing too much value on others' opinions.
Hypnotherapy for phone anxiety generally has two components: The first is the general strengthening of self-confidence and spontaneity, which are important in interactions with others. The other part is the hypnotic communication of what we consciously know—that nothing can happen to us during a phone call. If we make this clear to the subconscious through hypnosis, the threat level of making phone calls decreases.
Most calls don't go according to the plan one has prepared in their head. Additionally, it might be the case that when the phone rings and someone calls you, there’s no time to make a plan.
To prevent fear from arising, whether when receiving or making a call, it's important to develop spontaneity through hypnosis and to trust in your gut feeling. It's not without reason that people say, "Speak from the heart" when they want to make a good impression. The mind is usually not quick or witty enough to find the right words.
This task must be entrusted to the subconscious to overcome communication barriers. To do this, we need to strengthen the connection between mind and heart, between conscious and subconscious, through hypnosis.
Whether answering customer questions, getting your own questions answered, or securing a reservation at a restaurant, a phone conversation is usually something that benefits you.
If we teach this to the subconscious mind, making calls may not become your favorite activity, but it will become something you do for your own progress. When internal dialogues are geared toward positivity, a positive attitude also develops. This reduces shyness, nervousness, and stress, and creates a better mood.
With these steps in hypnotherapy, fluid and anxiety-free speaking can emerge, making it possible to handle misunderstandings appropriately. This way, we can let go of avoidance in making phone calls and confidently pick up the phone with good communication skills.
Whether in phone contact or confidently giving presentations and speeches, the hypnotically learned skills can be transferred to all areas of life for greater success in all types of interpersonal interactions.
