People with social anxiety, or social phobia, need to identify their thought process as I mentioned in the previous post, here.
To do that, we need to write down our thoughts as they are happening. Not days or weeks later. At the time we are in an anxious moment, we have to make note of all of our thoughts going on at that time. This is called self-talk that I briefly mentioned in this post.
We start by keeping a thought diary.
- Rate your anxiety on a scale of 0 to 10
- Record the date and time
- The situation you are in
- The thoughts you are experiencing.
It may sound a little crazy to some, but we need to understand our exact thoughts in a given situation in order to conquer them.
Until next time...
