A Survivor’s Common Sense Approach
to Recovery from Social Anxiety

For the first half of my life, I experienced severe social anxiety disorder. I was a confused, miserable reprobate. As a promising young actor, I was given every opportunity to succeed. I let my condition sabotage my success through substance abuse, promiscuity, and a total disregard for anyone who offered to help. I was unable or unwilling to establish, develop, or nurture healthy relationships, and my social life consisted of partying with B-list celebrities and insinuating myself into their success.

At midlife, I chose a different path. I returned to the university, earned my degree in the humanities, and became a behaviorist specializing in what is still nicknamed the “neglected anxiety disorder.” This is because few therapists have the expertise to tackle what field experts consider the most underrated, misunderstood, and misdiagnosed disorder.

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is manipulative and intractable, sustained by the irrational thoughts and behaviors of the roughly 360 million individuals caught in its densely interconnected network of fear and avoidance of social and performance situations.

pioneer of proactive neuroplasticity, utilizing DRNI – deliberate,
repetitive neural information. – WeVoice (Madrid, Málaga)   

Social anxiety robs us of our autonomy, happiness, and dreams. SAD thrives on our irrational thoughts and behaviors, upending the rules of logic. Like salmon swimming upstream, we must constantly fight against the current of our groundless fears and avoidance of social and performance situations.

Recovery demands a unique and specialized approach from an expert who has personally experienced severe social anxiety and prevailed, bringing firsthand knowledge of its unique obstacles.

I am simply in awe at the writing, your insights, your deep knowing of transcendence, your intuitive understanding of psychic-physical
pain, your connection of the pain to healing, your concept/title,
and above all, your innate compassion. – Janice Parker, PhD
