how to put social anxiety in its place

"Find Your Fierce is a concise and practical guide for teens dealing with social anxiety"--, Provided by publisherMany people feel uncomfortable in social situations, but there is a difference between being unsure of your self, and feeling as if people are constantly judging you. Fear and embarrassment can get in the way of life at home, at school, or in other social environments. Social anxiety disorders are tough, but you are not alone. Sperling walks you through cognitive behavioral therapy strategies that will help, from practicing mindfulness to relaxing your body. Focusing on the values that are important to you will enable you to set goals, and put them into practice as a first step to bigger goals. -- adapted from back cover and Introduction
