Overcoming Shyness and Social Anxiety. A Self-Help Program Based on Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques

An updated edition of the classic self-help course from 1999! Most people worry from time to time about how they appear to others, what those around them think - and that's normal. Problems arise when anxiety becomes constant and interferes with establishing social connections and enjoying communication. In this book, clinical psychologist Gillian Butler explains why we are so afraid of judgment and convince ourselves that other people are closely observing us and noticing all our flaws, and provides effective tools to help overcome shyness and anxiety. YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO: - learn not to obsess over yourself and how you appear to others; - establish social contacts without the fear of rejection; - stop preemptively guessing what could go wrong.
