Yes it works great for my social anxiety Unfortunately it doesn't work if it's taken all the time. I use it for special situations, now trying to find what else has similar effect on my brain
You forgot to mention this very important part of DSM5: "H. The fear, anxiety, or avoidance is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or another medical condition."
You simply explain social anxiety disorder as someone hallucinating the fear without triggers or explanation why these specific fears occur.
However in real life – social anxiety issues stem from exposure to abuse: ACoA and ACE in childhood, and narcissistic abuse in adulthood. Your explanation is causing incredible psychological damage to anyone who was abused and then suffers from social anxiety trauma – because you explain their experiences as imagination and something that can be removed by logic and power of thinking. Which we all know will not work with trauma at all – and in fact it will cause more damage – because the traumatized person will now develop deep toxic shame and stigma around their relentless fears.
Socially anxious due to exposure to abuse by omission in childhood lack validation and acceptance – and your approach is invalidation and rejection – which makes social anxiety trauma worse, not better. You make socially anxious believe that their abuse experiences is a list of black and white symptoms – and that abusers should not be held accountable for their crimes and that we should never talk about abuse -but only to suppress our emotions and pretend that we are happy all the time.
