Social Anxiety Help
T1's Story
33-year-old African American female
Washington, DC
"I needed to present this facade of perfection.
I didn't want to be another stereotype.
For me, I was representing my entire race
at such a young age, at 14."
"Humans are imperfect people,
and by showing your imperfections and your flaws
you’re able to connect with people that much more."
(audio & written)
27-year-old Hispanic woman
Maryland, suburban DC
(immigrant from Peru)
"People are finally starting to see me differently.
I'm pretty confident that there are going to be more great things along the way
that are still there for me to discover later.
Social anxiety therapy has really changed my life."
(National Public Radio audio broadcast)
57-year-old white lesbian Washington, DC
"Now it just seems like the experiments I did in the very beginning look so easy to me, that I could do it without even thinking or without becoming at all nervous."
(written)
36-year-old African-Caribbean female
Washington, DC
“I felt tense, self-conscious, and paralyzed by the fear that
others would notice my anxiety and ridicule or think less of me.
I feared that asserting myself would erode my relationships
and
alienate cherished family and friends."
