Kicking Social Anxiety To The Curb Through Understanding

By Jason Dayton


Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you were surrounded by a large group of people? Maybe been in a public space like a grocery store or in a park? For some, this can be a very anxious situation. This can cause some people to have a panic attack. These people suffer from what's called social anxiety disorder, and left untreated, can cause other debilitating disorders. Let's discuss treatments available to address social anxiety disorder.

Before you can fully be treated for social anxiety, you have to first realize you're not alone. There are many others just like yourself dealing with social anxiety, they just might not be vocal about it. It is in others you should confide and seek guidance. You will find it is much easier to treat social anxiety when you are supported, and it helps build the confidence to face these scary and most anxious situations.

The next step is to find the source of your anxiety. Do you have a fear of being touched by someone else while you are in a group of people? Do you mistrust people, and want to avoid contact with them? Do you get anxious when being in confined spaces such as elevators or on public transportation like a bus? Once you figure out the true source of your social anxiety, an effective treatment can be subscribed to eliminate the anxiety completely.

A further look into the source of your anxiety might actually reveal it stems from an incident or experience in your past. For example, someone who nearly drowned as a child might become anxious when around water. This can explain situations where you become severely stressed and anxious in public. Whether in the form of flashbacks or in our dreams, situations from our past can reveal the true nature of our social anxiety.

One of the most natural anxiety and stress treatments is incorporating a physical exercise routine into your daily activities. Exercise has not only been shown to reduce stress, but it is also great for building confidence you can use to better handle situations that normally would cause you severe anxiety. Treating your social anxiety mentally AND physically gives you more leverage in healing much sooner than if your body wasn't physically healthy.

No matter what steps you take to treat your social anxiety, the important thing is you begin and seek treatment. There is no benefit in suffering and waiting. We looked at several things you should consider to treat social anxiety and stress, but ultimately you should seek guidance from a licensed medical provider. They will know the best course of action you should follow based on your own individual needs.
