Psychotherapy can help people with social anxiety disorder overcome their fears and improve their confidence and quality of life.
I work with this topic in two formats:
1. Standard CBT protocol for social anxiety disorder. This is a simple and structured approach that involves working with cognitive distortions that maintain the anxiety disorder. And working with avoidance behavior that can undermine the person's confidence and abilities. Although the standard protocol for social anxiety disorder is considered a short-term format, it may require 6-12 months of work. Depending on the severity of the condition and the readiness of the client to engage in the work.
2. Schema therapy for social anxiety disorder. Social anxiety disorder can be triggered by such schemas as Emotional deprivation, Expectation of abuse, Defectiveness/Shame, Social isolation. These are deep-rooted beliefs and patterns that affect the person's emotions and behaviors. Schema therapy helps the client identify and modify their maladaptive schemas, as well as develop healthy coping skills and meet their emotional needs.
We can discuss with you the format of work that suits you personally. It can be either standard CBT or schema therapy. Also, if you wish, you can work first in the CBT format, with the most troubling topics in the present. And then, switch to the schema therapy format.

For dealing with social anxiety, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of anxiety and then they are able to take control of their bodies, secondly we try to identify automatic negative thoughts and learn how to deal with them and challenge them. We learn how to accept ourselves, and stop worrying about other people's opinions.
