The present research study was conducted on 30 young socially anxious literate people ranging from 18 to 30 years who were selected via purposive sampling method and randomly allocated into the experimental and control group. The intervention techniques of anchoring and swish pattern were conducted on the experimental group and the wait list control group underwent a similar kind of intervention provided by another NLP expert. Both the groups were tested for pretest and posttest using the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) scale and the scores were compared. The results showed a reduction in social anxiety from pre-test (Mean = 118.27) to post-test (Mean = 48.8) in the intervention group. There was a slight increase in social anxiety for the control group which can be attributed to the elapsed time.
