    SUGGESTIONS FOR PROCESSING THIS EXERCISE WITH CLIENT

    Children with social phobia frequently experience excessive anxiety in social situations. The past
    experience of anxiety can inhibit social interactions, whereby the child recalls previous feelings
    of anxiety and refrains from initiating contact with peers.

    This assignment can help the child identify positive social interactions. The first part of this
    assignment encourages the child to identify social situations in which he/she interacts with peers
    and does not report anxiety. In the therapy session, identify one positive peer social interaction in
    which the child can participate during the week. The child will draw a picture about this social
    interaction.
    Therapist’s Overview

    In the therapy session, explore aspects of this situation that differ from other social situations (for
    example, the person, the activity).

    In the therapy session, help the child identify social situations that are anxiety provoking.
    Together create a list of anxiety-provoking social situations. The child will rate these situations
    from 1 to 5 as a homework assignment. Remind the child to bring the list to the next therapy
    session.

    In the next session, review the list with the child and create a hierarchy of anxiety from the least
    anxiety-provoking situation to the most anxiety-provoking situation.

    Use therapy sessions to help the child develop strategies to manage the anxiety. Practice
    relaxation strategies in the therapy session. When the child is able to successfully complete the
    first task as a homework assignment, move on to the next task. Each week the child will build
    upon previous successes and complete a social task.
