Social anxiety?

Troels Lychau

Hello, I think I still have severe social anxiety, not that I sweat profusely in social settings, but I overthink and I don't know how to relate to others, when in private I can hold court, be the center of attention and goof around, not a problem, but in a classroom setting, I get really frustrated, I start staring at my phone, hoping someone will walk up to me and talk to me. Today I left with a serious headache, and also a dry throat, because I want to speak up, and not overthink but it is just mission impossible for me, so is there social anxiety treatment?

Good afternoon Troels,

the short answer to your question is yes.

My detailed answer is the following:
We don't have a specific process for social anxiety.

Social anxiety I think is an umbrella term, meaning it can have various causes for it (sometimes more than one causes at the same time).

We have identified 10+ subcellular causes for anxiety.
They are almost all listed in the book Subcellular Psychobiology Diagnosis Handbook.


For example, the overthinking part of it could be what triggers the anxiety, or something could be triggering you to overthink and then to get anxiety and others symptoms triggered.
What we experience has not always a direct cause to it.

I like to use this example:
Imagine someone is feeling panic, pain in their chest and have racing thoughts "OMG, I'm gonna die!".
So they are trying to tap away those emotions, to heal their symptoms. But it doesn't work or new symptoms shows up?
What was happening all along and that this person didn't notice, is that she is having a dog mauling into her leg.

So here the cause of her symptoms would simply be the dog, get rid of it and no more symptoms.
If not, her body will possibly find new symptoms to triggers in response of her getting her leg mauled.


So working with a therapists from the ISPS (Institute for the Study of Peak States) could be a good idea to diagnose and treat the cause/source of your anxiety.


We also have one process in research for people that have a specific kind of anxiety: (https://www.peakstates.com/OCD.html).
It's a specific kind of anxiety symptoms that people can have that cannot be resolved with regular trauma and psychobiology therapy.

I'll look into it, thanks for the feedback Julien

Is the general anxiety available for now?

And what therapists can carry them out?

"Is the general anxiety available for now?"

Sorry, I mixed the general anxiety issue with a specific kind of anxiety that is part of the OCD problem.

So we have no process for the general anxiety problem.

And the anxiety issue part of OCD, is still in research and not available yet.
