"This is the best book you'll ever read about how to conquer social anxiety. Up to 40% of people consider themselves shy. You might say you're introverted or awkward, or that you're fine around friends but just can't speak up in a meeting or at a party. Maybe you're usually confident but have recently moved or started a new job, only to feel isolated and unsure. If you get nervous in social situations - meeting your partner's friends, public speaking, standing awkwardly in the elevator with your boss, you've probably been told, "Just be yourself!" But that's easier said than done, especially if you're prone to social anxiety. Dr. Ellen Hendriksen believes you already have everything you need to succeed in any unfamiliar social situation. As someone who lives with social anxiety, Dr. Hendriksen has devoted her career to helping her clients overcome the same obstacles. With familiarity, humor, and authority, Dr. Hendriksen takes the reader through the roots of social anxiety and why it endures, how we can rewire our brains through our behavior, and how to quiet your Inner Critic, the pesky voice that whispers, "Everyone will judge you." Use her techniques to develop confidence, think through the buzz of anxiety, and feel comfortable in any situation. Clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen is the host of the Savvy Psychologist podcast. She lives in the Boston area. Visit her website at EllenHendriksen.com"--Provided by publisher.
