Explanation
Sometimes a private room or personal quiet space feels warmer and safer simply because the rest of the workplace appears too loud, too large, or too intimidating. When you feel hesitant about stepping out into shared break rooms, it is natural to retreat into solitude. However, you carry within you a voice capable of offering a simple greeting, allowing you to connect with like-minded colleagues who are waiting for someone genuine to interact with them. In our article on I prefer to sit alone at lunch (https://goodwords.info/archives/884), we explore how retreat serves as a temporary shelter.
Developing a resilience strategy, such as building a durable self in a corporate world (https://goodwords.info/archives/768), requires understanding how these quiet habits form. As an ICHP and EAPH accredited, insured practitioner, Alexandre Mitellus provides clinical hypnotherapy in Cork, hypnotherapy in Dublin, and online sessions across Ireland. Working in both English and French, Alexandre helps clients set themselves free from anxieties, stage fright, fatigue, phobias, and workplace stress, as well as managing pain, weight, or improving focus and concentration.
If you frequently struggle with caring too much about what others think of your ideas (https://goodwords.info/archives/1251) or find yourself worrying about speaking at the wrong time (https://goodwords.info/archives/1245), you are experiencing common patterns of social inhibition. Through guided sessions focused on deep relaxation and self-trust (https://mitellus.fr/?p=1625), you can transform these protective habits into comfortable, authentic social connection.
sometime the house, bedroom or personal place feels warmer because the rest is too loud, too big, too scary … and you’re worried about poking your head out. But remember, you have a “Magic Voice” that can say one small “Hi,” you’ll find other likeminded people waiting for someone as cool to interact with you!
Why This Happens: Shyness is often an “unproductive situation” where you rely on “untrained learning” that says “staying quiet” is safer than being seen. This is the “Law of Anticipated Judgement”—your brain treats a lunch table like a danger zone.
How to Fix It: Use “Ego Strengthening.” Tell yourself, “I am a successful, confident, goal-oriented winner”. Practice the “Swish Technique” to see yourself sitting with others and laughing before lunch begins. Yes, it is that easy.
Context Research: Carl Jung emphasised that we should find our “uniqueness”. By understanding your “projections,” you can choose to be seen rather than remaining a victim of an “imposed destiny”.
Your 1-2-3 quick guide
- Practise ego strengthening daily to build quiet inner confidence and trust
- Apply the swish technique before lunch to picture calm, pleasant interactions
- Step into shared spaces and offer one small greeting to others
Hypnotherapy FAQ
What is clinical hypnotherapy and how does it work?
Clinical hypnotherapy is a safe, evidence-based therapeutic approach that uses focused relaxation and guided concentration to access the subconscious mind, helping you reframe automatic thoughts, reduce stress, and establish healthier emotional patterns.
Will I lose control or fall asleep during a hypnotherapy session?
No, you remain fully conscious, aware, and in complete control throughout every session. Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and heightened focus, similar to being absorbed in a good book, where you retain full autonomy at all times.
How many hypnotherapy sessions are usually required to see progress?
The total number of sessions depends on your individual goals and personal history. While many clients experience meaningful progress within three to six sessions, a tailored programme is discussed during your initial consultation.
Is clinical hypnotherapy effective for workplace stress and social anxiety?
Yes, clinical hypnotherapy is widely used to address workplace stress, stage fright, and social hesitation. By retraining subconscious stress responses, it enables you to navigate communal environments with calm self-assurance.
Can hypnotherapy sessions be conducted effectively online?
Yes, online sessions are fully effective. Practising from the comfort of your own home provides a familiar, tranquil setting, allowing you to experience the full benefits of hypnotherapy regardless of location.
What qualifications should I look for in a clinical hypnotherapist?
It is important to work with an accredited and insured practitioner holding clinical credentials, such as accreditation from the Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy (ICHP) or the European Association for Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy (EAPH).
