Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Social anxiety is very common and very painful. Even though social anxiety is a common condition, each of us feels it in our own way. I have learned that social anxiety can best be treated with a combination of individual therapy and group therapy. At the beginning of individual therapy people are often reluctant to join a group. But even if you never choose to engage in group therapy, individual therapy can help. If you prefer, I can suggest a workbook for out of session help with social anxiety.

Daniel Snow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Please also see the description under 'anxiety or fears'. Social anxiety can hamper the trajectory of life- not meeting people you could have met, not having friends that could have been there for you, and reinforcing anxiety in all its forms while increasing isolation. It is tied to self-judgment, fear of embarrassment, endless 'playbacks' of conversations in the mind, and memories of other situations. But like anxiety in general, it is something that can be overcome. Sometimes we find that what we think of as scary to the point of being unapproachable is much more tame and harmless than we expected, once we get a closer look at the thing we fear.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Social anxiety, like other anxieties, involves fear of situations that we can not be certain of the outcome. Social anxiety is different in that it is fear of others' perceptions of us and that they will negatively judge and evaluate us. CBT and exposure to these fears is essential to overcoming these beliefs, thoughts, and avoidance/escape behavioral patterns.
