National Public Radio Story on
My Social Anxiety Therapy Group

National Public Radio broadcast a feature story on the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy for social anxiety on it’s All Things Considered news show on June 2, 2004. The story focuses on a client of mine, “Judy,” and the work she did in my social anxiety therapy group. It includes an extensive interview with “Judy,” and follows her as she does a self-chosen homework experiment at Dupont Circle, in Washington, DC. The story also includes informational interviews with myself, and with an expert from the American Psychological Association, about cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT, also called cognitive behavior therapy or cognitive therapy). This is the first of a three-part series on CBT broadcast by NPR on its national evening news program, All Things Considered.

“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.”
