Did you know? The social isolation schema is a core belief that you’re fundamentally different from others—leading many to feel they don’t belong, even in familiar or supportive settings.

In a recent blog post from the National Social Anxiety Center, Laura Johnson, LMFT, A-CBT, explores how this schema contributes to chronic social anxiety and how evidence-based therapy can help shift these limiting beliefs.

An important step in growth happens when people start to challenge the story that they don’t fit in.

Shorten this for twitter “Black voices have shaped history, culture, and progress in ways that continue to inspire and uplift us all. As we kick off Black History Month, NSAC celebrates the power of Black voices—past, present, and future—in driving conversations around mental health, resilience, and belonging.

From breaking barriers to redefining narratives, Black leaders, thinkers, and changemakers have paved the way for greater inclusivity in mental health care and beyond. At NSAC, we honor these contributions by continuing to advocate for access, representation, and culturally adapted support for Black individuals navigating social anxiety.

This month, we invite you to listen, learn, and amplify Black voices in mental health and beyond. Join us in celebrating the strength, wisdom, and impact of Black history—because these stories deserve to be heard every month of the year. 💛🖤❤️
