The SUDs is a self-assessment tool rated on a scale from 0 to 100.
Rather, the SUDs is a broad guide to give your therapist an idea of what you are experiencing.
For many, it can be difficult to share the intensity of what you are feeling.

In this way, the SUDs give you a simple way to express the severity of your emotions.
Social anxiety influences your perspective and how you view yourself and those around you.
This is a good indicator of an area you should probably work on.
You may find that working through issues with cognitive strategies improves your SUDs rating.
