Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is a debilitating condition characterised by a marked and persistent fear of being humiliated or scrutinised by others (World Health Organisation, 1992; American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Individuals fear a range of social interactions, such as conversations with strangers, joining in groups or speaking on the phone. Most things that involve being observed by others are difficult. Common concerns include the fear of sweating, shaking, blushing, stumbling over words, looking anxious, or appearing boring, stupid or incompetent (Stein and Stein, 2008). Psychological therapies are an effective treatment for SAD with cognitive and behavioural interventions consistently found to be helpful.
