About this session
- Eases social nerves
- Builds self-acceptance
- Boosts social confidence
- Releases old fears
This is a hypnotherapy audio from House of Wellbeing. You settle into a reclining chair in a peaceful garden and watch the sun set, sinking deeper with each breath. Once you're relaxed, the voice speaks to your subconscious, then guides you into a spacious room full of people.
It's for anyone who dreads parties, meetings or meeting new people and wants to rehearse feeling at ease. Because it begins with a sunset and ends with a count back to waking, it suits the evening, once the day's demands have quieted.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why does the session begin in a garden at sunset?
The garden is your place of peace. You sink into a padded reclining chair and watch the sun slip below the horizon, going deeper with each long, slow breath. By the time the sun has gone, you're relaxed enough for the suggestions that follow.
What is the thank-you to your subconscious mind about?
The voice thanks your subconscious for protecting you, then explains that it can also hold on to old, out-of-date patterns. It invites your mind to open to new suggestions and let go of reactions that no longer serve you. The change is framed as gratitude rather than a fight with yourself.
What do I picture in the room full of people?
You walk confidently into an open, airy, spacious room. You notice how you look, act and feel, then take a deep breath and tell yourself, "I trust myself." You make eye contact, smile and start a conversation with laughter. The room may be big, but you stay connected to yourself and to others.
What is the flame visualization for?
You imagine your anxiety or fear as a raging flame slowly losing fuel. It dies down, and a smoldering sense of peace rises like drifting smoke. The idea is that fear has no place to stay, so you can let it go instead of pushing it away.
Do I have to become outgoing for this to work?
No. The track says it's fine to be timid and shy, a lion or a mouse, and fine not to share all of yourself. The aim is to feel comfortable and accept who you are, with the gifts you bring, not to turn you into someone else.
What's the toast near the end?
You raise a glass full of positivity and say "Cheers" to making friends, being more social and sharing experiences with others. It's a small celebration that seals the suggestions, which are said to grow stronger by the day, the hour and the minute. Then a count from one to five brings you back to waking.
