Applying Psychological Concepts to Social Anxiety Treatment

Imagine you are a psychologist working with a client who is experiencing anxiety and has difficulty engaging in social situations. In your session, the client expresses a fear of being judged by others and worries about potential embarrassing moments during social interactions. Using your knowledge of psychological concepts, discuss how you would apply at least three specific terminology or theories relevant to understanding and treating this client’s anxiety. Be sure to define each term and explain how it relates to the client’s experience and treatment strategy.
