Yeah, it definitely helps. But it only goes so far.

I started weightlifting when I was about 19 and I gained a TON of confidence. Just not enough to resolve my inner game issues. Fourteen years later, I'm still getting a ton of exercise. I've got the body of a fucking underwear model. But I don't have the nerve to approach women, no matter how many IOIs they toss my way.

I appreciate your point, though, and lately I've been thinking about giving my psyche a workout similar to the one I get in the gym. So maybe I start out with light weight, by forcing IOIs. (Generally, when an attractive woman looks my way, I look away, like a submissive little bitch.) And then once that muscle is trained I move on to talking to strangers, and so on, until I'm strong enough psychologically to approach attractive women.

Thanks to my experience lifting weights, this is seems like a very intuitive, unthreatening approach: You work on that muscle until it's easy to lift the weight, and then you lift more weight.
