Purpose:    Learning to overcome a specific subgroup of anxiety disorders, Social Anxiety (SA) and Phobias. It is the 3rd largest mental healthcare problem in the nation affecting about 8% of the population.

 

Who should join:   

If any of this describes you.....   emotional discomfort, fear, apprehension or worry about social situations, interactions with others, and being evaluated or scrutinized by other people.   An intense feeling of fear in social situations and especially situations that are unfamiliar or in which you will be watched or evaluated by others. The feeling of fear is so great that in these types of situations one may be so worried that they feel anxious just thinking about them and will go to great lengths to avoid them. Persistent, intense, chronic fear of  being embarrassed or humiliated by one's own actions. Physical symptoms often accompanying social anxiety disorder include excessive blushing, sweating, trembling palpitations, nausea and stammering. Panic attacks may also occur. You feel like you're the only one that doesn't eat lunch with coworkers.  You avoid company events, gatherings.

 

Why join:  Improve your quality of life and stop passively sitting in the back of the car watching your life go by.
