Are you making progress toward being your most authentic self? Have you been to therapy, read the self-help books, and listened to the self-help podcasts, but you still feel like you haven't been able to go beyond the self-limiting ideas you have? Perhaps you need to do some home cleaning. This book is not merely a handbook; rather, it is a lifeline for those people who have ever felt stuck in social circumstances due to their own insecurities. To enable readers to face and win over their social anxiety for once, once and for all, Jarvis offers a detailed road map that integrates approaches supported by research with activities designed to put those tactics into practice. Do you find it difficult to control the emotions that you feel? Do you ever have the sense that the weight of your "responsibilities" as a black woman in a position of work or relationship, or even just as a human being trying to live, is going to bring you to the point of collapse?, or have you just discovered that you are on the edge of a mental breakdown or are already experiencing one? If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, it's likely that you're displaying some of the frequent signs of neglecting your emotional health.
