Yeah no worries: https://kat.cr/overcoming-social-anxiety-social-phobia-step-by-step-rar-t662702.html
I've listened to sessions 1 & 2. Session 1 was a necessary introduction to SAD, CBT, Dr Richards & his course. Pretty boring but there was some interesting information that was new to me re: body dysmorphias... If I ever doubted I had an actual disorder I certainly don't now!
Session 2 was more interesting, and outlined two beginners techniques, 'Slow Talk' and 'Thought Stoppage'. These are to be practiced for the next week before moving on to session 3. I found slow talk particularly intriguing because I find talking incredibly tiring and somewhat unpleasant. Probably because I dont talk often so its a viscous cycle... I also wonder if this is related to the fact that I wasnt spoken to much as a baby/toddler (my mum - an avoidant - had post partum depression until I was 2, and my dad worked long hours). Anyway, practicing speaking aloud, at a slightly slower than normal pace, strikes me as something I could benefit from in a socially panicked moment. Thought stoppage I am struggling with, however.
I also downloaded this social phobia guided meditation app to listen to at night: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hivebrain.andrewjohnson.phobia2 Quite like it, I set it to repeat a few times.
Also this app has positive reviews https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hivebrain.andrewjohnson.phobia2&hl=en
