Social Anxiety - The Recovery Plan

For social phobia, or social anxiety, the recovery plan can be long and uncomfortable. That is why we need to make a strong commitment, and have just as strong reasons for an effective recovery.

Now that we have

• Assessed our fears
• Set our goals
• Set our objectives
• Analyzed our behaviors

It is time to put a plan in place. We do that by learning new skills. Skills that will teach us how to:

• Handle our body's reaction to fears
• Handle our mind's reaction to fear and our thoughts
• How we handle disapproval, and many other factors

What is the basis for our fear? What skill do we lack? Is it a self esteem issue? Can we hold a conversation? Do we lack in grammar skills? We need to focus on learning the skill to improve our confidence.

Try to list what skills you may be lacking that is a direct connection to your social anxiety. We will work on them one at a time.

Until next time...
