[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Make sure you are using a therapist that will employ cognitive behavioral therapy. If your child doesn’t have “homework” to practice during the week you need a new therapist.

2. I bought “breaking free of shyness and social anxiety workbook for teens”- it was helpful to see they aren’t alone and other teens are experiencing the same thing.

3. Start looking for a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner. Ultimately without medication it was extremely difficult for my 14 year old to do all the Cognitive behavioral therapy. It wasn’t until medication that my child progressed.

4. Good you are on it now because I waited until freshman year of high school to get help for my child who was exactly as you described and 9th grade was really challenging socially. [/quote]

All of these things. Also, ignore the people on here who tell you that you have to force her to do everything for "exposure". Exposure is how you treat anxiety but most people on here don't seem to understand the nuances that go in to it. I would follow directions from her therapist or even the workbook you got her.[/quote]
