Therapy for Social Anxiety in San Jose, CA and Online across California and ORegon
Do you feel afraid of making a fool of yourself when you’re in front of people?
Do you sometimes avoid social situations because it will be stressful?
Do you feel awkward or inadequate, and like everyone else has figured out this socializing thing, while you’re still struggling?
Do you look at other people who have so much ease socially, and wish you could feel that way?
Social anxiety is no fun.
As humans we are social creatures that need one another to survive and thrive. It feels lonely to be on our own and unable to rely on, trust and feel safe with other people. And frankly it’s not as fun.
And yet when connecting with others comes with so much anxiety, it can put you in a bind…be lonely, or be afraid.
Not the most appealing choice.
And it’s tough when this starts to affect your work or relationships
Maybe you do have a few people you feel comfortable with, but it can be frustrating when you feel like your world is shrinking…that it is difficult to go out and do the things you need to do, make more friends or be with people without it feeling uncomfortable and stressful.
Deep down, you want connection. You just want it to feel more comfortable.
