Shyness Support Group
Shyness is a feeling of insecurity that certain people experience while being among others, talking with others, asking favors of others, etc. The initial cause of shyness can vary. Scientists have located some genetic data that supports the hypothesis that shyness is at least partially genetic.
Drexel University offers a free ONLINE treatment program for adults (ages 18-65) suffering from social anxiety disorder. This program is available to adults living in the United States. This program is part of a study examining the efficacy of a treatment for social anxiety delivered through an internet-based program called Second Life.
This cognitive-behavioral treatment consists of 12 weekly hour-long sessions with a therapist. You will be taught techniques to help cope with anxious thoughts and feelings. You will also have the opportunity to practice these techniques and improve your social skills. No medication is involved. If you enroll in this study, you will be asked to fill out several online questionnaires before, during, and after your treatment period.

I got so excited when I read your post. However, when I clicked on the link it said that they needed your phone number so that they can call you. Now I am really afraid of phones so I don't think there will be any free therapy for me today... :(

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
