These are therapy sessions. it's just as if you have just come in
for your first private therapy session with Dr. Richards.
Here is a detailed accounting of the therapy contained in each taped session.
Dr. Richards is speaking directly to you, providing you with concrete, rational solutions to social anxiety disorder.
Including Therapy Handouts
AUDIO SESSION #1:
Introduction to the series, why therapy must be "solution" oriented
AUDIO SESSION #2:
How and when to practice on your worksheets in the accompanying booklet, the physiological picture (i.e., what is really going on inside the brain as we get better),
AUDIO SESSION #3:
Specific cognitive therapy methods
AUDIO SESSION #4:
Relaxation and calmness for practical use
AUDIO SESSION #5:
Specific cognitive therapy methods we discuss,
with a full explanation and printed handout:
1. Why we need to stop doing what has kept us stuck in the
vicious cycle of anxiety for years and years.
AUDIO SESSION #6:
Specific cognitive therapy methods we discuss,
with a full explanation and printed handout:
1. How to use "attitude" statements (rational emotional beliefs) to deflate anxiety.
Your attitudes already have an emotional component to them, so we want to use this positive, determined emotion to deflate that irrational anxiety that causes us so much trouble. This one should prove easy for you and provide some immediate relief from anxiety when it is used.
AUDIO SESSION #7:
Specific cognitive therapy methods we discuss,
with a full explanation and printed handout:
1. Simple strategies to "de-stress" a situation. We learn to take anxious thoughts and feelings and reduce them down to size. We have been over-exaggerating our fears. Here's how we learn to pull them down to size.
.
SESSION #8:
Specific cognitive therapy methods we discuss,
with a full explanation and printed handout:
1. How to turn the tables on the ANTs, part two.
We continue to change our old negative irrational thoughts... into more truthful rational thoughts and beliefs.
SESSION #9:
Specific cognitive therapy methods we discuss,
with a full explanation and printed handout:
1. We have every right to feel good about ourselves. How and why we deserve it and how to make our thinking about our self more rational.
SESSION #10
Specific cognitive therapy methods we discuss,
with a full explanation and printed handout:
1. We know that ANTs are irrational, bullying liars. What we can do to stop these bullying thoughts and beliefs in their tracks.
SESSION #11
Specific cognitive therapy methods we discuss,
with a full explanation and printed handout:

SESSION #12
Specific cognitive therapy methods we discuss,
with a full explanation and printed handout:
1. Why it is important to act against your negative feelings (i.e., anxiety, frustration, irritation, anger, fear, and depression). When you act against your negative emotions in the proper manner, your negative emotions have no choice but to shrink.
SESSION #13
1. Targeting the Emotional Brain (the mid-region section):
Stay out of the twilight zone ... move into the peace zone. We want our good, healthy and positive feelings (emotions) to grow ... and we want to FEEL them. The Peace Zone concept gives us a strategy to FEEL these positive and healthy emotions -- as we practice our therapy (in our quiet time at home).
SESSION #14
Specific behavioral therapy methods we discuss,
with a full explanation and printed handout:
This is the first session to specifically cover the behavioral aspect of therapy.
1. Behavioral therapy: the beginning
Why flooding does not work for social anxiety. Why the opposite of flooding -- avoidance -- also does not work. How to move forward in your life in a safe and appropriate way -- so that you can make progress and feel confident. What to do -- and what NOT to do.
SESSION #15
Specific behavioral therapy methods we discuss,
with a full explanation and printed handout:
Behavioral therapy, part two
1. The social anxiety behavioral group and how it works, part two

Examples of all the major behavioral group activities are explained:
The circle of death, the stare chair, self-assertion role plays, pass the conversation, the house shout, true confessions, impromptu questions, popcorn questions, mingling parties, hello - I'm here!, etc.
SESSION #17
Specific cognitive therapy methods we discuss,
with a full explanation and printed handout:
1. The role that repressed or buried anger plays in keeping our social anxiety alive.
How our buried anger may be causing us trouble today
and fanning the flames of our social anxiety.
SESSION #18
These are the reinforcing or supplemental additions that fit right in with the cognitive and "emotional brain" therapy we have already been doing...and they deliberately reinforce essential concepts. You will probably also find them to be relaxing and calming.
Side One: Moving into The Peace Zone
Side Two: Seeing the Present
SESSION #19
These are additional reinforcements of the following essential concepts in overcoming social anxiety:
Side One: The Deserving Statements
Side Two: How to Let Go of the Negative Past
SESSION #20
How to put the cognitive and the behavioral therapy together ...
why this "synthesis" is important ...
Why continued repetition is necessary until social anxiety is gone...
What to do if you don't have a behavioral therapy group to attend and how to go about starting one...
You are the sculptor of your own life now.
This is easier to realize at this time than it was when you began the series. How to keep going and realize you have this power and control over your life....you have many more reasonable and rational choices than you once thought....
Positive and rational thoughts to dwell on ....
