Social Anxiety Blogs

Has anyone heard anything about Lifespan Integration? I started seeing a therapist who is using this form of therapy with me. Apparently the results can be profound, and I'm hopeful it will help me with my SI. I had a very unusual first session with him this week and I'm curious to find out where it all leads. If you've had any experience with LI, either directly or indirectly, I'd love to hear from you. Are the results as good as he tells me they are?

Such a mixture of feelings. It's amazing to me all the the things I've been reflecting on this past week that SA has impacted throughout my life. I realize I actually got very good at avoidance without being aware of what I was doing. Avoiding any of those situations that would have caused me anxiety.

So today I've discovered there's a name for what's been causing me so much distress for so many years...Social Anxiety. I knew I had some form of anxiety, but thought it was more situational, took meds for a while, then got myself off them thinking I didn't need them anymore, and that I just needed to get a grip on myself.
