Therapeutic Resistance with Social Anxiety 

Social anxiety is condition that is reaction to narcissistic abuse and ACoA trauma in childhood. It is also neurodiversity - where brain is functioning in different manner than with neurotypicals. These techniques therefore are useless. If we are in mobbing situation, it is not problem with our will - we are abused, problem is with evil person which society does not punish nor isolate from general society. Instead - target of abuse is institutionalized and pathologized. Exposure will not help at all. It is the same as to say that Carbon Fibre will become stronger with each exposure to deep pressure - it will only crack under pressure and implode eventually. CBT's wrong explanation that social anxiety means "weakness" and that the cure is "being strong" will end up as pathologizing victims of narcissistic abuse. It is the same as to say that Ukraine is weak and it must be strong in the face of Putin and Wagner psychopaths. Exposure will only bring Dissociation, which is mental illness. When we are brainwashed with CBT wrong explanations that our emotions are equal to our self worth, that is called Thought Action Fusion and it leads to mental illness. This means - we equate feeling panic with our core being - that we are pathetic and weak and abnormal for having reactions to psychopaths and sociopaths around us. Also CBT's explanations are called Dispositional Attribution: where the person is being stigmatized and proved to be the cause of problem and issues with social anxiety - while situational causes are totally ignored. "Dispositional attribution assigns the cause of behavior to some internal characteristic of a person rather than to outside forces. When we explain the behavior of others, we look for enduring internal attributions, such as personality traits. This is known as the fundamental attribution error." quote by SimplyPsychology In this way, CBT is narcissistic abuse and ableist therapy - which uses narcissistic control manipulation techniques to abuse: such as gaslighting and forcing the socially anxious person to doubt their own mind and ability to interpret reality and what is going on around them. For the rich white heterosexual male born with privilege and entitlement and silver spoon in their mouth - it is highly likely to be narcissistic and egocentric and easily conveniently blame other people for any problems that happen to them. Social anxiety is fear of expressing own opinion and thoughts and to know how to recognize narcissistic abuse and toxic people - where not expressing anything is the best solution to handle sociopaths. This way exposure means being authentic and honest and follow own gut and common sense and goals in life - where CBT's exposure will happen naturally and as a result of own's brain capacity to process data and make decisions in life - not as coercive control CBT manipulation and making socially anxious brainwash with idea that they do not have mental capacity to make decisions in life or calculate reality and processing it.
