Registration is open for the University Psychological Clinic’s fall CBT group for adults with social or performance anxiety. This session is scheduled for 5:30-7 p.m. Tuesdays, beginning Oct. 15, 2019. A preliminary screening appointment is required before joining the group.
Is the CBT Social Anxiety Group Right for Me?
People with social anxiety often worry about seeming incompetent, unintelligent, or awkward in social situations. Symptoms like heart pounding, shaking, sweating, dry mouth, or “blanking out” are common symptoms. People with social anxiety may continue to worry about how they came across to others long after the event is over. This group can help you build skills to counter the effects.
If you think social anxiety is negatively affecting your relationships, your work, or your overall mental health, this group might be the next step for you. Clinicians at the Psychological Clinic use evidence-based group therapy to help participants learn to identify and shift unhealthy thinking patterns. You will build coping skills and increase confidence in a supportive environment and at your own pace. The group will meet once a week for eight weeks, with an additional follow-up booster session a month after the program’s conclusion.
