Psychotherapy: Find a local, reputable psychotherapist to help pinpoint stressors that you encounter in social situations, as well as exploring other stressors from other areas of your life, and explore how interrelated these are. Also, ask your psychotherapist if medication might help, and if so, find a psychiatrist to evaluate medication needs, if any.
