Social anxiety doesn’t always show up as panic attacks or visible distress—in the workplace, it often hides behind silence, avoidance, or overthinking simple interactions. From hesitating to speak up in meetings to replaying conversations long after they’re over, social anxiety can quietly impact confidence, relationships, and career growth.

Therapy is a powerful space for healing, growth, and self-discovery—but to truly make the most of it, your voice matters. Self-advocacy in therapy means speaking up about your needs, preferences, and boundaries so that your experience aligns with who you are and what you hope to achieve.

National Suicide Prevention Month serves as a crucial time to raise awareness about the realities of suicide, foster open conversations, and offer support to those in need.
