Coping with social anxiety

eAwazLifestyle

LA – Constant fear of embarrassment, condemnation, or humiliation in social settings is known as social anxiety disorder. Extreme anxiety that interferes with everyday functioning or parts of life, such as relationships or employment, is a defining feature of this condition among its sufferers. Reducing symptoms is the aim of treatment in order to improve functioning both before and during social situations. Exposure therapy, is a type of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in which patients learn how to be at ease in social settings and are then gradually challenged to put the skills into practice in real life. Second therapy is called social skills training. In this kind of treatment, patients role-play social interactions. They do this by carrying out this action in a group.
