In this video, we illustrate an example of explaining to a client why we experience social anxiety, and what keeps social anxiety going. We demonstrate how the client’s personal experience can be elicited to build a collaborative formulation that informs social anxiety treatment.
Handouts and worksheets on overcoming social anxiety, including the “Stepping out of Social Anxiety” workbook, are freely available here: www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/Resources/Looking-After-Yourself/Social-Anxiety
A corresponding clinician reflection exercise can be downloaded from our website as a companion to this video. Engaging in these reflection exercises will help you to maximise your learning, and can equip you to use the demonstrated principles in your own work: www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/Training/Demonstration-Videos/Clinician-Reflection-Exercises
