1. Accept your situation; resistance causes symptoms to increase; Accepting your situation will give you the necessary impetus to treat social phobia; So, pretend to be excited for a while, accept that you are shy or ordinary. So, as “Beisser” said, “in order to be what one wants, one must first be what one is.”
2. Do not judge lest you be judged; Although social phobics are afraid of being judged and humiliated, realizing that they are actually the real judge provides a very important awareness in the treatment of social phobia. In fact, people get very nervous when doing the things they judge. Because of this important rule, first realize what you are judging and stop doing it.
3. Focus on the moment and the needs of the moment; Find a therapist who can teach you techniques for this. Your constant focus on approval, not making mistakes, and trying to appear strong is actually the mechanism that causes other symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, dry mouth, and excitement.
4. Do not lose contact with yourself and your breath when interacting with social environments; Correct breathing, mindfulness and meditation are super supports that can be used as a complement to social phobia. Even teaching you how to breathe in social environments will relieve you greatly.
5. Go to the goal with small steps but determined and steady. Gradual emphasis exercises are a very valuable technique in terms of turning off the exaggerated alarm system that has formed in social environments.
6. Medication alone is not enough: I know many of you are disappointed by using only medication treatments. You can permanently treat your social phobia with the helpful techniques and psychotherapy methods mentioned above.
