Anxiety is a crafty shapeshifter that can take on many forms: the tiger
that sinks its claws in with physical symptoms and distressing thoughts,
the cruel and belittling bully creating insecurity and self-doubt and,
worst of all, the frenemy rewarding avoidance of social situations with
no physical symptoms, no cruel thoughts... and no life beyond your sofa!
This no-nonsense guide to beating social anxiety covers everything from
surviving university and the workplace, through to social media and
making it through parties and dates (whilst actually enjoying them!)
With honest insights about her own social anxiety and a healthy dose of
humour, award-winning blogger Claire Eastham describes what social
anxiety is, why it happens, and how you can lessen its effects with
lifestyle choices, talking therapies or even a hug from your favourite
canine friend!
