In this episode... We analyses the "Act as if" concept from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Can pretending to be confident and likable really help you overcome social anxiety? We share the theory and our thoughts on its practicality. Seb discusses his personal journey of stepping out of the comfort zone and highlights the challenges and rewards of taking action as if you're already confident. But does this approach lead to lasting self-confidence? Seb also introduces an alternative strategy - Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), which focuses on addressing the emotional roots of social anxiety. Tune in to learn how tapping helps you build the lasting self confidence we all desire to have! LAST CALL: Join our free 30 Day Social Confidence Challenge, starting 1st January 2024!
