Congratulations Larry Cohen on this wonderful highlight and blog post!
Shame isn’t just a byproduct of social anxiety, it’s often the engine that drives it.
In the November episode of our A-CBT Blog Author Spotlight Series, Larry Cohen, LCSW, A-CBT, of the National SocialAnxiety Center and one of the most experienced social anxiety therapists in the world!, explains why shame-based core beliefs must be a central treatment target in CBT for SAD.
Larry draws on decades of experience to break down how integrative CBT approaches can more effectively shift the beliefs that keep people stuck.
Our blog series aims to highlight the expertise of our members and to disseminate accurate information about CBT. To read Larry’s full blog on shame and social anxiety, visit our website: www.academyofcbt.org/blog
