Product Description
Product Description
Social anxiety disorder is the fear of situations that involve interaction with other people - ranging from anxiety that terrifies before a scheduled public appearance, to shyness that leads to withdrawal from contact at a casual social event. This workbook is designed to help the reader overcome these paralyzing social phobias and provides skill-building exercises for improvement of communication, public speaking and general anxiety. It also contains an intensive, self-directed treatment programme.
About the Author
Martin M. Antony is Chief Psychologist and Director of an Anxiety Treatment and Research Centre. Richard P. Swinson is Professor and Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioural Nurosciences at McMaster University.

A helpful workbood,

This review is from: The Shyness and Social Anxiety Workbook: Proven Techniques for Overcoming Your Fears (Paperback)
This workbook is a great resource! It is great that the authors, who are published researchers in the area of social anxiety, can describe their methods in an easy to read, easy to follow workbook. I especially found the section on getting to know your social anxiety helpful in breaking down something broad and formless (shyness) into a road map for making change. If you are serious about making some changes in your life with regard to shyness and social avoidance, I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: The Shyness and Social Anxiety Workbook: Proven Techniques for Overcoming Your Fears (Paperback)
A truly excellent resource! This book is full of valuable exercises for challenging the irrational thoughts and avoidance behaviors that fuel social anxiety. I particularly appreciated the creative examples of how one can confront and overcome social and performance fears in a gradual and manageable fashion. Of all of the resources that I've come across to date, this book has been the most helpful to me in terms of offering realistic and practical strategies!

A great help!,

This review is from: The Shyness and Social Anxiety Workbook: Proven Techniques for Overcoming Your Fears (Paperback)
I have been a shy and anxious person for years. I recently started a job that requires me to speak up in meetings and even do some public speaking. These are things I have always avoided...but this was a job I really wanted. Antony & Swinson's book has been a huge help to me. I've found the exercises and tips to be very helpful. I do a lot of public speaking now with pretty minimal anxiety and also feel much calmer when casually socializing with new people that I meet. Thanks!
