It is NSAC’s mission to keep up with the latest research available in the study of social anxiety disorder. John Montopoli (NSAC – San Francisco) looked at research conducted by McEvoy, Johnson, Kazantzis, and Egan (2024) examining the predictors of homework engagement in Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy (CBGT) for Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). In his summary, their research suggests that people get the most from therapy when they practice skills outside of sessions. Working with your therapist to plan action items that relate to therapy goals will help you see the value of doing work that may feel difficult at times. What does this mean for clinicians? What strategies do you use, both in individual and group CBT, to increase homework engagement? #nsac #nationalsocialanxietycenter #socialanxiety #research #cbt

We all want to feel valid in our experience—and for our partner to acknowledge it. As a therapist, one of the most effective tools I teach couples is how to practice validation. Once they start actively strengthening their validation muscle, emotional security can be nurtured. This is because validation in a relationship increases trust, strengthens empathy, and creates space for vulnerability. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) outlines 6 levels of validation as part of the therapy process to help clients manage and express their emotions and behaviors effectively—which is crucial in relationships. Want to learn more about the levels of validation? 🌿 Dive into our blog post "Levels of Validation" --> https://loom.ly/ClNj6Lg __ #validate #validation #therapy #psychotherapist #counselingpsychology #psychologyquotes #losangelestherapy
