New Book

I started my recovery program focused on the LGBTQ+ community. At one point, I was working with over 800 LGBTQ+ clients. Since then, I have expanded my workshops to include anyone who has the courage and commitment to start the healing process. However, as a gay man, my main focus remains on the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

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 gay man and 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.

Dr. Mullen is doing impressive work helping the world. He is the
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.

Visualize your emotional well-being as an overgrown garden. Your negative self-beliefs are deeply embedded, destructive weeds. This book provides tools to uproot your emotional entanglements and nurture new growth. But it is up to you to take them out of the shed and put them to use, cultivating new mindsets, skills, and abilities.

I have never encountered such an efficient professional …
His work transpires dedication, care, and love for what he does.
 – Joseh Garcia, PhD (filmmaker, composer)  

This book is not an academic or theoretical journey through the various psychological approaches of today’s mental health industry. But a practical, straightforward, and easily digestible guide to recovery.

Drawing on a variety of clinical and unconventional approaches, you will learn to counteract the excessive negative information in your brain’s metabolism, replace self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors with healthy, productive ones, and reintegrate into society with compassion and self-confidence.

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

ReChanneling develops and implements programs to (1) reduce symptoms of social anxiety and related conditions and (2) pursue personal goals and objectives — harnessing our natural ability for extraordinary living. Our core approach focuses on personality through empathy, collaboration, and program integration, using neuroscience and psychology, including proactive neuroplasticity, cognitive-behavioral therapy, positive psychology, and techniques to rebuild self-esteem. All donations go toward scholarships for groups and workshops.

INDIVIDUAL RECOVERY. The symptoms of social anxiety make it challenging for some to participate in a collective workshop. Dr. Mullen works one-on-one with a select group of individuals uneasy in a group setting. ReChanneling offers scholarships to accommodate the costs. What is absent in group activities is provided in our monthly Graduate Recovery Group. In this supportive community, graduates interact with others who have completed the program.  Contact ‘rmullenphd@gmail.com’.
