Spring Group Offerings
Social Anxiety Group - Does feeling uncomfortable around other people keep you from doing things you want to do? Do you worry that others will notice how nervous you feel? Most people experience anxiety in social situations at least some of the time, but if anxiety is interfering with your ability to enjoy yourself or accomplish what you want in life, this program may be for you. It uses a structured and supportive approach to help students understand their anxiety and take specific steps to become more comfortable in social situations. Equally important, it provides a supportive environment in which to meet others who share the same experiences and to find that you are not alone. This group will meet weekly and will draw heavily from the book entitled Managing Social Anxiety: A Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Approach. The group will begin February 8. Those interested in participating should contact Counseling Services to schedule a pre-group interview. Please contact Steve Wilson at (478) 445-5331 or steve.wilson@gcsu.edu.
Additional groups may be offered at the request of students and/or organizations provided there is sufficient interest among the student body. Past group offerings have included a GLBT Support Group, Relationships Group, Perfectionism Group, Working Mother's Support Group, Working Father's Support Group, Art Therapy, ADHD Group and a Social Anxiety Group.
