Jess Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
Social anxiety can be debilitating as it often is the very opposite of what one is striving for: connection with others. In my practice, we look at the specifics of what may be bringing someone distress in social situations, what these social situations may be and I help provide tools for being able to rebuild courage and resilience to face these day-to-day stressors.

EMDR Therapy Toronto - Heal Anxiety, PTSD, Childhood Trauma - Ayan Mukherjee
Registered Psychotherapist, Certified EMDR Therapist & Consultant
Social anxiety often originates in early teens when the child experiences social attachment deficits and experiences significant social rejection of some sort. It can also be exacerbated by lots of relocations, new schools, being ripped apart from one's established peer group, bullying, social ostracization, etc. It causes the person to develop an adaptation called "mind-reading" and being extremely self-conscious, self-critical and internally-focused during social interactions. I work with social anxiety by desensitizing and neutralizing root-cause trauma memories and imagined worst-case scenarios with EMDR Therapy. Guided imagery and Resource Tapping of an imaginary Ideal Friend who was always present in childhood school-related memories and always had your back, helps to further heal the social attachment deficit. The goal is to calm your survival brain in social situations, so that the relationship and connection-oriented parts of your nervous system can take over and help you feel calm and social.
