Stages Of Social Anxiety

If you’re experiencing social anxiety, social situations might seem threatening or scary. Research indicates that several things can contribute to social anxiety, including what you do:

  • Before social interactions (e.g., worrying about how it will go).
  • During social interactions (e.g., focusing on how you come across).
  • After social interactions (e.g., dwelling on the things you think went wrong).

This Stages Of Social Anxiety tool will help you to:

  • Identify the aspects that might be contributing to your particular difficulties.
  • Come up with strategies to help you manage your anxiety.

Overview

The Stages Of Social Anxiety worksheet is a tool to record unhelpful socially anxious responses to social situations, and to map alternative ways of thinking and responding at each stage (before, during, and after a social situation). In addition to behavioral experiments, clients may find it helpful as a form of treatment plan or therapy blueprint for social anxiety.
