Hi,

I'll get this started-- I had very bad social anxiety problems for years (really bad shyness, painfully so).

One thing that has really helped me (that is very alternative-spiritual, and yet also very gentle and non-pressuring) is Social Anxiety Anonymous-- They have a great program of recovery, emphasizing a number of alternative-healing methods (like visualization, mediTation, emotional healing, spiritual healing and more...), anyway, they have a great online reading resource pertaining to this, "Twelve Gentle Steps to Overcoming Social Anxiety".

It's really cool (and they are a nonprofit, so the help they provide is free). (Really free).

Any more suggestions? Feel free to post them here!

Love, Deanna
