Anxiety about embarrassing yourself in social situations is common, particularly amongst teenagers. Whilst for most these worries are mild, for some young people they are more troublesome and persistent. If you are spending a lot of time feeling shy or worrying about social situations, this can be overwhelming and can have a big impact on your life. The aim of this book is to help you to understand a bit more about these worries, what you can do about them and how you can reduce your social anxiety and build self-confidence. Written by clinicians with many years of experience working in services that treat anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, this book follows an approach called cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which is a really useful way of helping us to make sense of our experiences and overcome the difficulties that we face. CBT is an evidence-based approach, which means that lots of research has been done to evaluate it and show that it can be helpful. The book uses case studies, engaging illustrations, exercises and accompanying online resources, and includes help and support on: · Common fears, such as a fear of blushing and feeling stupid · Dealing with social media · Social anxiety around relationships · How to get help from family, friends or professionals if you are struggling. There is also a chapter for parents/carers and families with suggestions on how they can help. Overcoming for Teenagers is a series to support young people through common mental health issues during adolescence, using scientific techniques that have been proven to work.

Are you a shy person? I was once myself, and I want to share what I have learned from my own life. • Quality is more important than quantity when selecting friends. • Social skills are as simple as smiling and saying hi to people. • Discernment is key to picking the right people to build you up, not tear you down. Some people have poor intentions. • Standing up for yourself is the single most important thing you can do. • Talking to people or standing up for yourself is akin to the feeling of jumping out of an airplane…scary but exhilarating and worth it! • Cherish old and true friends. • Try activities you actually love. You will meet so many people! • Passion overrides shyness. Find what you love and you will forget to be shy! • Embrace your introversion; there are a lot of advantages to being an introvert. But don’t let shyness confine you. • Learn to be comfortable on your own. Then you have the confidence to attract other people. • Don’t judge people by their outward appearance. Get to know them first. • Work on finding your true values. Experimentation to find them out is OK. Then stick to those values. • Always, always, always be yourself or your friendships will fall apart. • Mental illness and bad experiences can set your progress back but you will bounce back. • And more!

Social Anxiety Clinical, Developmental, and Social Perspectives, Second Edition, provides an interdisciplinary approach to understanding social anxiety disorder (SAD) by bringing together research across several disciplines, including social psychology, developmental psychology, behavior genetics, and clinical psychology. The book explains the different aspects of social anxiety and social phobia in adults and children, including the evolution of terminology and constructs, assessment procedures, relationship to personality disorders, and psychopathology. It considers most prominent theoretical perspectives on social anxiety and SAD discussed by social psychologists, developmental psychologists, behavior geneticists, clinical psychologists, and psychiatrists. These theoretical perspectives emphasize different factors that can contribute to the etiology and/or maintenance of social anxiety/SAD. Treatment approaches are also discussed, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure intervention, social skills training. The contents of this volume represent some of the best views and thoughts in the field. It is hoped that the breadth of perspectives offered will help foster continued interdisciplinary dialogue and efforts toward cross-fertilization to advance the understanding, conceptualization, and treatment of chronic and debilitating social anxiety. - The most comprehensive source of up-to-date data, with review articles covering a thorough deliniation of social anxiety, theoretical perspectives, and treatment approaches - Consolidates broadly distributed literature into single source, saving researchers and clinicians time in obtaining and translating information and improving the level of further research and care they can provide - Each chapter is written by an expert in the topic area - Provides more fully vetted expert knowledge than any existing work - Integrates findings from various disciplines - clinical, social and developmental psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, - rather than focusing on only one conceptual perspective - Provides the reader with more complete understanding of a complex phenomena, giving researchers and clinicians alike a better set of tool for furthering what we know - Offers coverage of essential topics on which competing books fail to focus, such as: related disorders of adult and childhood; the relationship to social competence, assertiveness and perfectionism; social skills deficit hypothesis; comparison between pharmacological and psychosocial treatments; and potential mediators of change in the treatment of social anxiety disorder population
