Many millions of individuals suffer from some form of social anxiety. In fact, it's estimated that one out of every eight people experiences some degree of social anxiety. Social anxiety is a problem characterized by the emotions of shame, humiliation and embarrassment. It is a disease of resistance. The result is that there are very few structured therapeutic programs available, given that most people who suffer from it are too embarrassed to even seek help.

Social anxiety affects people of all ages. It affects people from all cultures. There are many different manifestations of social anxiety, and the problem usually worsens with time. Social anxiety can be very specific - as in fear of public speaking or avoidance of restaurants. On the other hand, it can be pervasive and rule a person's entire life. Social and performance anxiety affects people at all functioning levels - high achievers as well as the “emotionally challenged”.
