Plz consult prof saad Bashir Malik or brig shahid Rashid in lahore

Hi! All type of anxiety disorders needs continous follow up with psychotherapist. Social anxiety is maintained when situation is avoided to get an escape from panic attack or panic like symptom


Management starts from making list of all those situation where social anxiety gets triggered


from least to most

for example

1. With husband at home in presence of unvited guest

2. Talking to a stranger on the phone


3. Talking to opposite gender

4. Going for shopping and asking someone for something

5. Going for an interview or parent teacher meeting


and till 10 one should make a list and from least to most start working


Attending body senstation while having social anxiety like sweating siking heart should be noted and then one should not maximize perception of those symptoms in particular situation


obviously these all techniques are easier said then done, so a therapeutic assistance should be required.
