Stop feeling shyness, shame or not being comfortable in social environments.You have in front of you a book that offers you a change, CHOOSE FREEDOM! In this book I suggest you make a change. This change is based on my firm belief that the so-called "social anxiety disorder" or "social phobia" mental illness is not real, but only a "medicalisation" of accentuated traits of psychic structure of people. It is the fact that shyness, embarrassment and shame that some people felt sharply in social relationships, was taken as pathological as being the expression of a mental disorder that exhibits the specific medical diagnosis and treatment. The "medicalisation" of human behaviour makes people seek external help and to forget its own resources to manage this situation. Here Is A Preview Of What You''ll Learn... What is social anxiety and social phobia and HOW TO TREAT IT! How to use your mind to treat illness The importance of language that you use and how to take advantage of it! What causes social disorder, the biological and behavioural causes Much, much more! Check Out What Others Are Saying... "CHANGED MY LIFE!
