of intimacy, and loneliness and improve perceived social support in people with Social
Anxiety Disorder.

treatment condition or a wait list control. We hypothesize that 1) participants in the
treatment condition will have lower fear of intimacy at post treatment than those in the
waitlist condition 2) participants in the treatment condition will have lower levels of
loneliness than those in the waitlist condition 3) participants in the treatment condition
will have higher perceived social support than those in the waitlist condition.
