Social Anxiety Formulation (Clark & Wells)

Identify the distorted observer-perspective self-image that drives social anxiety — the "felt sense" of how you appear to others.

Monitor and challenge the post-mortem rumination that follows social situations — a key maintenance factor in social anxiety.

Compare the effects of self-focused attention vs external focus during social situations to test whether self-focus makes anxiety worse.

Track changes in a specific social belief across multiple experiments — building cumulative evidence for an updated view of yourself in social situations.
