The Gift of Social Anxiety

Course details

This course will cover the topic of social anxiety from a biblical (and grace-based) worldview. This class is centered on the mental, physical, and spiritual components of social anxiety. Modern brain research has given us a tremendous amount of insight into why we act and think the way we do. The top twelve rules of social anxiety will be examined, with an understanding of how those rules will inevitably be broken. Special coping skills and therapeutic techniques will be discussed, with an emphasis on self-compassion (rooted in God's compassion). Certain habits, such as post-event processing and safety behaviors, will be realigned with a more positive perspective. Finally, individuals with social anxiety will learn how to make their weaknesses an asset to living a purposeful life.  There are unique gifts that come along with social anxiety.
