It is estimated that 1 in 8 people suffer from social anxiety. It is a universal problem that affects people of all ages, genders, cultures, religions and socioeconomic strata. Social anxiety includes an extremely broad spectrum of symptoms: from specific performance anxiety to pervasive social handicaps. It is often a debilitating illness that can lead to a life of isolation, anguish and even suicide. Incredibly, most people and many mental health professionals lack a functional understanding of the disorder.. Plus, little effective protocol exists due to sufferers' innate resistance to treatment.

Social Anxiety is an overwhelming and persistent fear of social or performance situations that can significantly and dramatically limit one's ability to live a meaningful and productive life. It causes both emotional discomfort through obsessive worry and physical suffering that emanates from the core. These symptoms are always associated with human interaction and are performance based.

Social anxiety is the third most prevalent mental health disorder behind depression and substance abuse, and is substantially co-morbid. Current research demonstrates that very little productive clinical protocol exists. Social anxiety is a disease of resistance, which impacts millions of all ages and all cultures. It continues to evolve rapidly due to its dynamic core of "performance"? within an increasingly competitive and technological society. Social anxiety has numerous manifestations including social phobia, public speaking anxiety, which is the world's number 1 phobia, selective mutism, school phobia, performance anxiety in numerous venues such as work, performing arts, sports, and relationships, as well a technology over-dependence and social skills challenges. In addition there is a direct connection to such problems as "bullying"? and positioning within the social "pecking order"?, school violence, and image sickness Persons with Learning Disabilities and other special needs represent another group significantly impacted by Social Anxiety.

This video will go beyond the theoretical context and provide viewers with a functional understanding of the population. It will teach a step-by-step treatment methodology including analytical, behavioral, cognitive, physiological, and family dynamics. Follow along with these real-life client demonstrations.

BONUS FORMS INCLUDED: avoidance form, dependence form, emotions list, selective mutism school chart, selective mutism profile and multimodal life history inventory sample
