Triumph Over Shyness 

Intense social anxiety can create consistent nervousness, and loneliness. Fortunately, Triumph Over Shyness, written by two experts in the field and copublished by the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, provides much-needed help, with:

• Techniques to overcome social anxiety
• The latest information on medication and treatments
• Ways to improve relationships and manage symptoms

Shyness isn’t just a personality quirk—to some people it means that even a casual social interaction can be a nightmare.

Endorsed by The Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA), the primary organization in the U.S. dedicated to the cure of anxiety disorders, this is the only book of its kind to provide a comprehensive psychological and medical approach for sufferers of the debilitating syndrome of acute shyness and social phobia.

This book focuses on a range of powerful new treatments that have become available and offer new hope for people with social anxiety. Other features include:

* Guidelines for coping with difficult social situations
* Pros and cons of various kinds of therapy

The Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) offers hope in the form of a new self-help book.

“Triumph Over Shyness: Conquering Social Anxiety Disorder” (second edition), by Murray B. Stein, MD, MPH, and John R. Walker, PhD, offers tips for handling a socially anxious situation:

* When you are feeling anxious, remind yourself to focus on others.

* Make it your goal to listen carefully to what the other person has to say.

* Think about how that person feels about what he is saying: Is this a situation involving strong emotion?

* Often your attention will move back to yourself. Just accept anxious thoughts and physical sensations and direct your attention back to the other person.

* Don’t spend much time planning or rehearsing what you will say next. This will distract you from listening to the other person.

* Don’t try to figure out what others are thinking about you.
