Overcoming Social Anxiety

Anxiety in social situations is common. While for some people it is transient, for others it can be a remarkably consistent problem that holds them back in life. This talk covers what we know about the processes that maintain social anxiety and shows how they can be targeted in treatment. Professor David M Clark will provide the main presentation, followed by a Q&A session chaired by Professor Cathy Creswell. Find out more about: 1.

About the Series: We have come to realise the importance of mental health issues and the impact they can have on individuals as well as on society at large. But, can you separate the facts from the myths? Do you know how to promote your own mental wellness and help those around you? At Oxford, we have some of the world’s leading researchers helping us understand the causes of mental conditions and develop effective evidence-based treatments. We are bringing them together in a new series to share their knowledge and answer your questions about how we can look after each others’ mental wellness in our community. Other talks in the series can be found on the website of the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford at https://www.psy.ox.ac.uk/events/searc....
