Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
People experience anxiety in different ways and for those with social anxiety the world can feel very uncomfortable or overwhelming at times. This can cause one to isolate and withdraw from others in an effort to avoid discomfort or distress. This in turn prevents us from learning how to navigate social situations and learn to make them feel more manageable. When working with a client with social anxiety I recognize that it can be challenging just to be interacting with a new person. As anxiety often comes from feeling a lack of control, it is a priority for me to promote an environment where my client feels safe and in control. We will explore the history of their anxiety, what makes it worse as well as triggers. We will then use CBT to challenge negative or limiting thoughts and reframe them as more empowering and reassuring thoughts. We will also develop grounding and coping strategies they can use when feeling anxious. If this sounds helpful to you, please book a free consultation where I can answer questions or address concerns.

Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
From an emotionally focused perspective, working with social anxiety involves exploring the emotional experiences underlying an individual's fear of social situations. Social anxiety may stem from attachment-related insecurities that leave us vulnerable to feelings of rejection or judgment. Taking an emotionally focused approach our goal is to identify and process these underlying emotions, which may include shame or fear of abandonment, that often fuel such anxiety. By creating a safe, empathic therapeutic environment, we will also work on becoming aware of any negative emotional cycles, like avoidance or self-criticism and work to heal these wounds and soften our defenses. As individuals connect more deeply with their core emotions and gain more clarity about their internal world it can lead to increased self-acceptance which enables individuals to face social situations with a sense of security, reduced anxiety and an improved ability to engage with others in an authentic way.
