Social Anxiety Secrets – The Doctor Speaks var seo_sids = new Array();var seo_osids = new Array(); What you are about to learn could change the course of your battle with social anxiety and shyness! You are not the only person with symptoms like: 2. I am a doctor of psychology who has overcome Social Anxiety Disorder and specialized in the treatment of Social Anxiety and excessive shyness in my private clinic. I have been there, in your shoes, and struggled through the painful symptoms while people offered their useless advice. I have probably read as much scientific and non-scientific literature on Social Anxiety treatments as anyone else on earth. I have spent countless hours with hundreds of clients who consult me with every possible variety of unique Social Anxiety symptom you could ever imagine (and then some). And now I am turning my attention to you. I want to share the methods that I have found to be most effective. I want to save you from thousands of hours of research and painful trial and error. I want to inspire you with the hope and the tools that you can use to turn the tables on your Social Anxiety symptoms. In my personal battle with Social Anxiety, I have learned just how powerful the anxiety can get. I have experienced symptoms that threatened to shut down my life because of the powerful impulse to avoid situations where the anxiety would surface. I have filtered through the scientific research articles tucked away in obscure locations of university libraries, where psychiatrists and psychologists have published their efforts to identify the key factors involved in the creation and maintenance of Social Anxiety Disorder. I have carefully tested what I discovered. I have synthesized data to uncover patterns and methods that go beyond the basic generalities that plague the scientific research process. Believe it or not, the human brain has the capacity to change in ways that neuroscientists have only recently been discovering. For example, stroke victims who end up with paralysis in an entire limb used to be told, "Sorry, that part of your brain is damaged. You will never regain control." Now, people with the same paralysis are learning to pick up spoons and eat with the hand and arm that was previously "permanently paralyzed." How? It's called neuroplasticity. That's the scientific word for the discovery of just how much our brains are able to change themselves. It's amazing,but our thoughts (which are created by our brain) can actually change the brain! Most people only scratch the surface of what is possible, because the change isn't observable with the naked eye, and the change requires a certain level of sustained mental focus, that few people bother with (why would you unless you knew how powerful your results could be).

The reason why neuroplasticity is so exciting, is that it allows social anxiety sufferers to literally build new neural circuitry (pathways of thought and automatic brain reactions) in response to feared situations. The reason why we need to be able to do this is to overcome the underlying cause of severe Social Anxiety: Automatic fear that is so powerful, it can cause us to freeze in our tracks. I want to share some methods for retraining your brain so that you react to anxiety-producing situations with a powerful coping response. I'm sure you've tried to change your thoughts to change your anxious reactions. I'm also sure that didn't work so well, or you wouldn't be reading this. Changing your thoughts about Social Anxiety fears can be helpful, but it's not enough for people with severe Social Anxiety symptoms. A crucial second component is needed. The second component is a carefully planned system to ensure you persevere long enough for changes to occur. There's a part of your brain called the amygdala, who's job is to never forget a threatening or dangerous situation. That part of your brain memorizes all the aspects of the situations that caused your anxiety reaction. It's a fluke in the way our brains work, because when this part of our brain tries to warn us about feelings that are inside us (anxiety) instead of outside us (a dangerous animal for example) something terrible happens. We begin to have automatic escalating fear reactions to sensations and thoughts within ourselves. There’s no where to run. Unfortunately, we learn that...
