Find a therapist that can help with Social anxiety
Social anxiety is a mental health condition that causes intense fear and anxiety in social situations. It can lead to avoiding social situations, affecting a person's quality of life.
Therapy can help with social anxiety through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that challenges negative thoughts and beliefs. Relaxation techniques, exposure therapy, and communication skills training can help individuals manage their anxiety and build confidence.
With the support of a therapist, people can overcome their social anxiety and lead a more fulfilling social life.
