Dr. Paula Levine, Psychologist and Founding Director of the Miami Counseling Resource Center, explains social phobia. She says it’s not fear of being social or fear of socializing. It’s fear of a scrutiny, evaluation and judgment.
She clarifies that the shy person is simply that: shy. But a shy person is not afraid of the scrutiny of others.
The specialist adds cognitive behavioral therapy works very well with social anxiety patients.
