Social Anxiety (Booklet) by Amy Baker

“I’m just shy.” You’ve worn the label for so long that it has become your identity. A counselor recently described it as social anxiety, but the new label does nothing to ease the pain. You wish you could feel “comfortable in your own skin” but instead, in social situations, you feel anxious and out of place. Where can you go for help?

Amy Baker explains that confidence in God, not self–confidence, is the answer to the problem of social anxiety. Trusting in God breaks the paralyzing grip of fear, freeing formerly “shy” people to enter fully into relationship with God and others.

Social Anxiety

This book tackles social anxiety by encouraging the reader to not focus on themselves but on God and his goodness. There are some helpful action steps at the end. It is only 23 pages long, which is quick but you might want more and there is no list of further reading apart from references.
