Eric Goodman, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, author, and speaker who specializes in helping people face their social fears and anxiety disorders. In addition to his private practice in San Luis Obispo, California, he runs Social Courage groups and retreats.
“Losing a loved one and re-entering your world as a single can be
an anxious and confronting time. Psychologist Dr Eric Goodman is an
expert in this area and offers advice.”

"Do you get nervous meeting new people? Is the thought of making a
speech enough to make your heart race and palms sweat? According to
American psychologist Dr Eric Goodman, they are just a few examples
of social anxiety, an experience that far from being a disease is
just part of what makes us human, and ensures we get on smoothly
with everyone else. For many of us, though, it can get out of hand
to the point that it limits our potential and makes everyday social
experiences a nightmare. Goodman says his new book, Social Courage,
presents a path forward for everyone who suffers from extreme
social anxiety.”
*Adelaide Advertiser*
“Readers who struggle with social anxiety should find Goodman’s
clearly explained advice to be usable and appealing.”
