Study Groups

Internet delivered self-help program with therapist support
The intervention consists of 8 therapist-supported self-help modules delivered over 8 weeks on a secure online platform. Modules consist of texts and video followed by exercises which they send to their therapist and receive feedback within a few days.
The treatment is based on principles from affect-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy.
Experimental: Internet delivered self-help program with therapist support
During 8 weeks of treatment participants are taught how emotional conflicts may underlie and perpetuate symptoms of social anxiety. They are also taught how to observe their own anxiety and emotional avoidance (i.e. defenses) and how to gradually approach previously warded off feelings. The final part of the program contains material on how one may express previously warded off emotions to improve important relationships. The treatment program consists of text, videos and a series of experiential exercises which a therapist gives feedback on.
