I need to know what is it like to see a therapist for social anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seeing a therapist: For social anxiety is much like seeing a therapist for any emotional issue. Your therapist will get a history of your problems and information about your upbringing, education and current life. They will then tailor a treatment plan with you to begin to help you cope with your issues better. It takes time to build trust and make the necessary changes, but it is well worth the time and effort.
