My wife found it very effective.

She’s practicing it now and has stopped smoking as well.

Recently she also took up an online course which she says is very good.

Yes, even self hypnosis can help with this. Hypnosuis is very good at making you relax and that helps with anxiety.

Yes. I think it would be effective. I've been practicing self-hypnosis for years & it's very effective. I stlll remember suggestions that were in my self-hypnosis twenty years ago. So having professional assisstance should be even better.

It can be. Make sure the person has some kind of diploma and/or certificate showing that they are competent. There r other ways to treat social anxiety as well. Systematic Desensitization is another good method. Same warning, get someone competent. Also, the antidepressant Zoloft has been shown to help people with this. Best wishes
