What Is Avoidant Personality Disorder?
9. Therapy
Avoidant personality disorder is often treated with the help of therapy. Therapy is unlikely to stop the patient from being shy, but it will at least be able to help them manage their condition better. It can help them to lead a relatively normal life and allow them to function at work and even have a social life to an extent.
Therapy works by teaching the patient the skills they need to be able to manage the condition. It can teach them to recognize the symptom of the condition better and to avoid behavior that can make it worse. It can help them to understand why they are feeling the way they do, and that their insecurities are not necessarily rational.
