Summary

This study looks at whether adding a positive mental rehearsal step after a single session of exposure therapy can improve symptoms of social anxiety. About 40 adults with high social anxiety will take part. After facing a feared social situation, half will practice replaying the experience in a positive way, while the other half will do a standard review. Researchers will check if the positive rehearsal group feels less anxious one week later.
