Description
I cannot make your social anxiety completely disappear. However, I can teach you ideas and skills to help you manage it more effectively. After studying social anxiety research for more than five years, and living with the disorder my entire life, I compiled a list of the biggest concerns within the social anxiety world and created short lessons to address each one. This course won't solve all your problems, but it WILL help you: *Learn about yourself *Re-examine what your fears are really about *Understand what communication research says is ACTUALLY normal (e.g. looking away during conversation is something everyone does), versus what the average person might tell you (e.g., "You always have to make eye contact") *Improve your social skills *Consider when to put in the effort to communicate, and when it might actually make you feel worseOftentimes social anxiety is created because of poor communication (highly critical, inconsiderate, bullying) from others when we are children. This treatment creates a poor self-image, leading us to think we have less value than others, thus deserve less than them. In reality, we are all the same. People who suffer from social anxiety just tend to get less opportunities to speak, thus their social skills suffer. And, once that happens, it seems like everyone has a script for communication except you! To help fill in the gaps of what you might have missed over time, take this course and start to think differently about yourself, about relationships, and learn how to interact without wasting so much energy worrying and planning ahead.
