This is a tool aimed at social anxiety with a cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy approach. It contains exercises, tasks and information that are used in outpatient treatment courses.
Social anxiety is both bothersome and common. For some, anxiety becomes so severe that it disrupts everyday life, and appears in situations where it isn't helpful. This tool contains exercises, tasks and information that allow you to cope with anxiety in a better way.
This tool gives you knowledge and strategies to understand, challenge, and gradually reduce social anxiety. It consists of six parts:
You learn what social anxiety is, how cognitive therapy can help, and how to get started with practical exercises.
You explore why social anxiety develops, how it feels for you, and how it can be treated. You also identify your own safety strategies that keep the problem going.
You practice using the ABC model, thought organization, and the cognitive diamond to understand the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. You also learn to recognize and challenge thought traps.
You take the first steps in exposure therapy, building an exposure hierarchy and preparing for structured practice.
You carry out exposure exercises step by step, follow your plan, and learn how to stay motivated even when anxiety feels overwhelming.
You reflect on what you have learned, prepare for setbacks, and create a plan to maintain progress and build long-term resilience.
