True social anxiety help is hard to come by.
If you have social anxiety, you might know what I'm talking about.
When I first learned that I had social anxiety many years ago, like most people who think something is wrong, I went to the doctor.
I explained my symptoms to my doctor and was told that I had some form of social disorder and that it was a chemical imbalance in my brain.
To get myself on track, I would need to take a prescription medication.
Well, at that point I was willing to try anything to get social anxiety help, so I began taking the medicine.
It worked OK, but I constantly felt light-headed and was somewhat disappointed that I would be on medication the rest of my life.
This sent me on a quest to find social anxiety help other than medication.
My thought was that because social anxiety is a biological, environmental and psychological affliction, there had to be something in my past or my current thinking that caused this behavior.
The medication simply masked the symptoms, and I wanted to find a cure.
And I did not want to spend thousands of dollars on therapy sessions.
After studying hundreds of books and listening to literally thousands of self-audio tapes, I came to the conclusion that social anxiety help is possible to do yourself, but it takes hard work and dedication.
And it often requires that you put yourself in situations that you fear the most.
One method that I had some success with was called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
CBT is a form of psychotherapy that emphasizes the important role of thinking in how we feel and what we do.
It's based on the presumptive fact that it is our thoughts and feelings that make us act the way we act, not external influences such as people or situations.
This was right up my alley because I truly believe that we are controlled by our thoughts, and our thoughts determine our actions.
Another positive attribute of CBT is that it is focused and time-limited.
This means that you can get results in a much shorter period of time.
Although CBT worked well for me, I wanted to find other social anxiety help that I could use instantaneously when I found myself in social situations that were uncomfortable.
These would be strategies I could literally "turn on" when I felt the need.
This way, if I could reframe the situation when I wanted to, I could teach myself to change my thought process and be comfortable in any situation.
I found and learned these social strategies and used them in numerous situations to calm myself down in social settings.
This type of social anxiety help is available for anyone to use and can be implemented immediately if you are willing to put them into practice.
