Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Social anxiety is when a person avoids interacting with people either individually or in groups to lessen the physical, emotional and mental stress they feel when they don't know how to deal with others expectations. Leaning how to best manage anxiety is the first step, unless you had a traumatic experience that created the social distancing behaviours.

My primary area of expertise centers around assisting clients in overcoming and effectively managing social anxiety. This form of anxiety can significantly impact one's life, which underscores the importance of equipping clients with coping strategies and a deeper understanding of its origins, with the ultimate goal of potential mitigation. In my practice, I employ evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other modalities, to support individuals in their journey to conquer social anxiety.

As a human, you have a need for social connection but if you have social anxiety you may avoid social situations all together as a way to cope with your anxiety. This leads to other mental health issues such as disordered eating, substance abuse, low self-esteem, isolation, loneliness, sadness or depression. Although very overwhelming Social Anxiety is a very treatable condition that is very responsive to Counselling. If social anxiety stands between you, your priorities and your fulfillment it's time to take the step towards improving your life.

Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
I don't dislike people, I just freeze up in that environment and can't move. I might even like people, but can't be sure because the idea of social scares me. Not sure about holding conversation or what to say at all? Unsure how to show up or leave? What if they don't like me? Oh no, what if they do? What part of social is anxiety forming? Conversation? Crowds? Family? All? Something else?
It is just trying to tell you something, let's see if we can figure out what.
