Social Anxiety Therapy in Colorado and Oregon
Social anxiety is running your life.
And it’s getting reallllllly old. Like old old.
Staying home every night and avoiding any social gathering (like you avoid your Aunt Carol) has left you with a f*cking stellar relationship with your dog, and your home has become your safe haven and sanctuary. Which hey, that doesn’t really sound that bad, right?
But the problem is that you also haven’t put in applications for that new position at work, you haven’t seen your best friend in over three months and miss geeking out on Golden Girls and eating tacos with them…
…and you haven’t made it to the grocery store for more than five minutes of anxiety-shopping to snatch some spaghetti noodles (forgot the sauce) and panic-grabbed an apple on the way out.
And this is the small list of how this social anxiety is really dragging you down.
There’s also the huge list of symptoms that make you feel like you’re in a state of panic constantly, that annoy the hell out of you and honestly…just feel exhausting.
The constant worry about bad things happening, being judged, not being prepared, feeling like a fool, feeling unaccepted, if you say the wrong thing, if you mess up, if you fail, if something happens and nothing goes as planned…
It’s constant and completely unwelcomed. But it also feels uncontrollable.
You’ve read the self-help books, you’ve tried to work on changing your thoughts, you grabbed some anxiety medication from the doc, you’ve done the deep breathing techniques and maybe even tried meditation for a hot minute…
…and still. No cigar. Ugh.
And so here you are looking at this webpage and seeing if this therapist thing can be the ticket, right?
This can be the ticket.
And it can be.
You get to have a life where social anxiety isn’t running the show and you get to do all the things that you know deep down you’re craving to do.
Just imagine after several sessions you start to see the change and feel the progress. You start to see yourself turning in some job applications, whaaaa?!
You say “yes” to your friend who’s been waiting for you with a taco in hand, you go to the store and actually get yourself some serious groceries…
…maybe you even go visit the neighbor and bring some banana bread (because isn’t that adorable?).
Basically, anxiety isn’t keeping you from all this stuff that you’re craving to do, so you can live a more FULL life.
YOU are running the show and you’re feeling a heck of a lot more grounded, calm, and safe to be around people and do the things you love.
