Marla credits a lot of her own progress to being in support groups focusing on social anxiety disorder. She started attending a group in 2006 as a participant, and has now become a group facilitator herself. "I am so passionate about this cause-to raise awareness for social anxiety, to offer hope, to show people they are not alone, and to let them know they don't have to live their lives in fear."
I'd say this shy little girl has transformed into a brave, compassionate woman.
