Tips for Helping Someone with Social Anxiety Start Therapy

Sometimes writing a script helps me, or a list of topics to discuss! Plus it’s comforting to know that the therapist is trained to help people with anxiety and will never judge! Just remind him that they have his best interest at heart and they’re trained for this sort of thing ❤️ If video chat/calling isn’t for him, maybe text chatting is up his alley! Some virtual therapy offers that :)

My dad used to come to my therapy appointments and sit with me. It helped a lot. My partner goes with me now. :3

Could you maybe sit with him during the meet and greet process of therapy? I know that having someone familiar helps ease my anxiety, idk if it's the same for others tho.
