I've wrestled with severe social anxiety all my life. If I had a dollar for each time someone suggested a paid program GUARANTEED to work, I'd be rich.
When I se the word GUARANTEED..I question it.
Social Phobia, is no different than any other phobia. It develops because of different personal experiences we've had in life. Doesn't this mean the solution will be different for us all?
Many programs and solutions have the potential to work for some people, but only if they just happen to fit the specific circumstances for those individuals. Two people can use the same program, yet only one might improve.
Regular, consistent, exposure to my social fears is the only real solution for me. Books, tapes, videos, and fancy techniques are fine, but only do so much "for me". Many make my anxiety worse, because they cause me to focus on my fears, rather than attacking and working through my fears. Nubi
