Where can I find behavioral therapy in central Ohio for social phobia?
I have been searching for this for a long time now and haven't had any luck. Even information on a therapist with special training in social phobia/social anxiety would help a lot.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
Answer:
Check the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Find-a-Therapist service. You can limit your search to social skills or social anxiety.
How fantastic that you are actively seeking therapy for social phobia! I would think that a clinical psychologist who specializes in anxiety disorders should be able to provide treatment that helps those with social phobia/anxiety. Perhaps you can attend a local support group for those with anxiety disorders and find out from the group leader about some therapists. Please do make sure that the person is licensed. For diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders, one should go to a Ph. D. clinical psychologist, licensed/clinical social worker (LCSW) and/or a board certified psychiatrist.
I have social anxiety as well along with generalized anxiety and depression. I take the ssri (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressant prozac, which helps with the anxiety and depression. I also do (slow) deep breathing before going to a party or large gathering. And that helps to keep me more calm. I take a slow breath in thru the nose and then slowly out thru pursed lips. Just a couple of times and not too fast as to not hyperventilate. I also try to remind myself that no one is perfect and that regardless of how flawless a person seems, there are always going to be people to 'talk' behind another person's back to help themselves to feel better -- a false confidence on their part. There is no getting around it. Just reminding myself of that helps me to brave the crowd that much easier.
