| Popis: |
Many individuals in treatment for social anxiety have some difficulty with casual conversations, even if it is not the primary focus of treatment. The chapter explores why it is important to be able to make casual conversation and then examines some of the automatic thoughts that socially anxious individuals often have in casual conversation and how to challenge those automatic thoughts. This chapter presents psychoeducational material about the importance of small talk in everyday life. Two primary messages from this material are (a) casual conversations are the gateways to more significant relationships and (b) such conversations are, by definition, about inconsequential topics. The chapter talks about two key types of situations in which many people experience social anxiety—conversations and public speaking. |
