Most people have experienced a degree of stage fright before speaking in a group or have felt butterflies before an interview or competition. These reactions are natural. However, for those with Social Anxiety, the feeling isn't nervousness but intense fear and near panic.
Social Anxiety can be profoundly debilitating, particularly for those whose careers require public speaking, presentations, or performances. The intense fear of judgment or embarrassment can hinder professional growth, limit opportunities, and diminish confidence in both professional and social settings. The fear and avoidance can feel overwhelming and the potential embarrassment seems imminent. This can lead to lost work opportunities, missed promotions, even the loss of employment. Fortunately Social Phobia, like certain other anxiety disorders, is one of the most treatable mental health conditions. At the Bay Area Center for Anxiety we use empirically validated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help those suffering from Social Phobia. Our goal is to help you move beyond anxiety and fully engage in both personal and professional opportunities .
