Hi everyone,
I suggest trying with NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), it worked for me. My social life is satisfying now, I don't feel like I have SA anymore. After I overcame SA I myself studied NLP and became a practitioner. Now I work with SA people in London.
I have posted some info on NLP and on hypnotherapy in the discussion board of the SA-UK site

The thread is the "One-to-one SA Work"
Several NLP practitioners are also hypnotherapists. Some changework techniques are used by both hypnotherapists and NLP people. For example, NLP has a phobia cure that works quickly and effectively same as the hypnotherapy work mentioned in the preceding message. You can access a description of that technique on

Nick Hanlon's website is worth visiting, it gives very useful information on self-help for SA people.
There are a lot of NLP practitioners in the US, although I am not aware of people specialising in SA. Try to run some searches in Google, maybe there are some specialists out there.
Hope it helps!
