Bingo. It's a mix of exposure therapy and CBT. I understand that people are concerned over the simplified approach. But like most things (therapy included), if it's not simple enough to understand, it doesn't get used. Many Social Anxiety therapists first go will be exposure therapy -- gradually exposing their clients to fears until they don't feel it as much. We employ a version of this in Roadmap. The levels start out small and then gradually introduce larger steps at the player's pace. CBT - This practice comes in two parts: identifying the underlying thoughts / beliefs of the anxiety. And then forming skills / behaviors to tackle that. Social Anxiety is focused on our future failures in front of people. In Roadmap, that central belief is uprooted when we capture your wins and replay them to you over and over. Instead of focusing on future failures & being discouraged, we rewire the mind to appreciate past wins & build confidence. |
