  • What is Social Anxiety?5:55

    In this lesson you will learn what Social Anxiety is, the specific triggers and why you have a Social Anxiety so you can start to free up from its grip.


  • Symptoms and Avoidances6:19

    Here you will get an outline of the SA physical symptoms and an explanation about why avoidance doesn’t work. But more importantly, I will highlight why avoidance makes the situation worse and why your SA has, in all likelihood, been getting progressively worse over time.

    A word of caution: Some people might feel blamed that they have kind of done it to themselves. But that isn't the case. The SA isn't your fault and you are also not to be blamed for making it worse. It is perfectly logical to seek avoidances. We do that with every sort of pain we may encounter. But with SA it just doesn't work, and there are far better ways to deal with SA, as you will see in future lessons, which is the purpose of this course:-)

  • Social Anxiety Triggers5:42

    In this lesson you will learn about the various SA triggers you might be confronted with.

  • Testing Your Social Anxiety4:43

    The four tests are displayed in the slides with some basic instructions. Make sure you do this homework as it forms the basis for the rest of the modules.

    Attached are the 4 tests which are also available in the public domain.

  • Common Treatments for Social Anxiety3:50

    Common treatments for Social Anxiety

  • Why do you have Social Anxiety?9:37

    Some causes of SA are discussed.

    We all have some sort of SA due to how helpless we are as children, and how we were educated. But that is not likely to be enough to create a real SA. Other environmental (and possibly genetic) causes further contribute to its development.

  • The Inner Chaos starts8:25

    Parental and other caretakers' expectations have been established and your wish to please them too. Often the expectations will be in direct contrast with your own wishes - but as a helpless child, there is no way, other than suppressing them.

    As you grow up, society's rules become evident, but many of them are surprisingly contradictory and the brain goes into conflict and chaos.

    Eventually, you end up taking the path of least resistance and most approval. But this will automatically create negative core self beliefs (e.g. 'I'm weak', I'm worthless' etc.).

    Once you have a negative self image, the stage is set for being socially anxious.

  • Discovering your negative belief - 3 techniques5:12

    3 techniques to discover your individual negative belief(s).

    Also have a look at the handout with a list of negative beliefs and mark down the one(s) that seem to fit you.

    In the next module we will already start with techniques and interventions to bring about change in your beliefs and in your social anxiety.

    See you there:-)
