CASE STUDY for Social Anxiety
ОглавлениеAngus, a 37-year-old marketing executive, works for a well-known mobile network company. Seen as the golden boy of the company, he had amazing sales and marketing skills that brought in a large amount of money. For this he was rewarded with a promotion to the board of directors. One of the responsibilities his new role entailed was holding group meetings and giving presentations to his colleagues. However, Angus had always had an anxiety about his height – he was only 5ft 5 inches – and this seemed to be becoming worse every time he did a presentation. He felt powerless and inadequate, with the result that he mumbled, tripped over his words and behaved in a defensive manner.
In response, I used Thought Field Therapy (see chapter five), a powerful NLP exercise called The Biology of Excellence (see here) and self-hypnosis on building confidence in group meetings. And the feedback? According to Angus, the techniques worked a treat.
