Exposure therapy is a proven technique for social anxiety and is the first line treatment. As long as the ramp up in exposure is gradual and doesn’t start off with “go to an extremely social event with a lot of complete strangers” on day one it shouldn’t be a problem and should be helpful for a lot of people.

I hope the program has disclaimers and warnings about when to seek professional help.

I feel for the original commenter, they seem to have traumatized themselves pretty badly, but I just don’t see how their experience maps onto this website at all.
