Managing Social Anxiety, Workbook, 2nd Edition: A Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Approach PDF

As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, I have used this workbook with several patients and highly recommend it to anyone who suffers from social anxiety. The techniques presented within it are effective for up to 90% of social anxiety suffers and I can personal it attest that they have proven highly effective for all of my social anxiety patients. Although best used in the course of treatment with a cognitive-behavioral therapist, individuals can easily employ the techniques presented on their own. This book not only presents an extremely clear overview of the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, but also provides effective strategies for changing the way that you feel by challenging dysfunctional thoughts and changing behaviors. Within the second addition, Hope, Heimberg, & Turk present additional information about common types of dysfunctional thoughts.

This book definitely has some useful exercises, but its specifically laid out to be completed with a therapist, unlike the description indicates, where it says its "for completion with a therapist OR on your own."

It constantly tells you to go over things with your therapist and creates many questions that you would need or want to ask about (ironically, it makes you anxious). So, kind of useless for someone who is working on self help for some mild to moderate anxiety issues.

If anxiety doesn't control your life and you don't feel you need to contact a therapist or aren't seeing one at this point, this book is probably too much for you. Seems more like a textbook your therapist would assign or recommend AFTER you've begun structured treatment and have a CBT plan, not something to be picked up on your own.
