These are THERAPY groups, not just support groups.

Rich is experienced in social anxiety therapy, has very active, structured, and friendly groups and he is doing a great job helping people overcome social anxiety.

Maine
Currently we're running TWO CBT Groups for social anxiety here in southern Maine: one for TEENS and one for ADULTS. We run ours as "closed" groups, no new members until a cycle has completed. Members can then elect to continue or not, and we permit new members to join. Then we close the group for the next 6 to 8 week cycle. Anyone interested in joining would need both an intake assessment and then a few individual sessions to prep you for joining the group, so we'd like to hear from you soon.

DUBLIN IRELAND INFORMATION
We have a new Social Anxiety Therapy Group run on a weekday evening near the city centre.
Our group is based on the SAI audio therapy CD series. Our motive is to provide as proactive and as friendly and helpful a group which will allow people to fulfill the behavioural side of CBT. It is important that the ground work is done by completing the SAI CD series.
We also do some video work which we have found very beneficial in allowing people to see their performance and progress behind it. It not as scary as it may sound!! People who have attended the group have reported back very positive things and are looking forward to subsequent groups.
We can be contacted at: overcomesa@gmail.com
