Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an IFS perspective, social anxiety often involves protective parts that try to prevent perceived judgment or rejection. By noticing and compassionately engaging with these anxious parts, you can help them feel safe and understood rather than controlling your behavior. Over time, connecting with your Self allows these parts to relax, creating space for more confident and authentic social interactions.
