The overall purpose of the intervention is to encourage you to take that social risk, like go out and do something social even when you feel like it's not gonna go well. Because you learn from those experiences. Uh, probably a lot of those experiences will actually be kind of awkward, but a surprising amount will go better than you think. Even if it doesn't go well, you're gaining social skills, you're gaining social experiences. Everything in the SSI is built around trying to motivate you to engage in positive social actions. So we also walk you through social skills, attentive listening, different body gestures when you're interacting with somebody, things like that. And describe the, the importance of exposure. It's a problem with anxiety disorders, but just like any problem where you get nervous in situations, if you can expose yourself to those situations that make you nervous, That's a great path towards healing and overcoming those feelings of anxiety.
