Overcoming Social Anxiety | Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Metacognitive Therapy (MCT)

Social anxiety disorder is a common but really challenging mental disorder. When left untreated, social anxiety can limit you in how you’re able to live your life. There’s a number of different treatment options available for people struggling with social anxiety. Two of the most commonly used are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Metacognitive Therapy (MCT). While they both approach treating social anxiety disorder by working with our cognition, they do so at different levels: CBT works with the contents of our thoughts, while MCT works by looking at the thoughts processes.
In this video, we look at how CBT and MCT each approach treating social anxiety disorder.
