Do you find it hard to manage social situations?

Do you struggle with social anxiety?

Do you avoid social situations because they make you feel anxious?

Social anxiety is a common issue that I treat with my patients. It can affect children, teenagers and adults. Social anxiety can stop you from trying to make friends, limit your social life, prevent you from getting into a relationship and leave you feeling lonely and isolated. It can also mean you missing out on significant events like weddings, parties and family gatherings.

In this episode I talk about why social anxiety happens and what goes on in your brain when you have social anxiety as an issue. As ever, this podcast is all about hope and I discuss ways that you can manage the issue of social anxiety and stop this from holding you back from living the life you want to live.
