10 Simple Solutions to Shyness
"Even though statisticians report that more than 37 million Americans suffer
from diagnosable social phobia, common sense suggests that nearly all of us have,
at one time or another, had clammy palms and knocking knees because of an intimidating,
uncomfortable social situation. The party where you don’t know a single soul,
the crowded lobby of a movie theatre, the presentation you’ve been dreading
for weeks-any of these have the potential to ruin your week without necessarily
sending you to the psychiatrist’s couch.
The ten simple exercises in this book help readers shed their shyness and start
socializing with confidence and élan.
The book examines shyness by symptoms: physical discomfort, anxious thoughts,
and bothersome behaviors. Solutions-based in clinically proven cognitive behavioral
therapy-follow, directly addressing all three. Readers can carry the book in
a briefcase or purse for last minute support and extra confidence. Once the
ten simple solutions are learned, they will be constant companions, providing
courage, poise, and composure when readers need them most.
In this book, an expert in the treatment of social anxiety and phobia offers
ten easy-to-use, concise exercises based on cognitive behavioral therapy, or
CBT, that readers can use to throw off shyness, unease in gatherings, and fear
of giving speeches or talks.
· Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, has an impressive rate of effectiveness
for treating social phobia.
· By the author of The Shyness and Social Anxiety Workbook, the exercises
in this easy-to-carry book provide immediate relief from social anxiety and
shyness."
