You’ve probably been given the advice at some point in your life that you shouldn’t care about what other people think of you. For some of you this might feel pretty easy. For others it’s a challenge. And for some of you the threat of negative social judgment and embarrassment is absolutely terrifying. 
In today’s episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, we discuss social anxiety disorder. We talk about how this mental health condition is different than being shy, introverted, or nervous about public performance. We also explore social anxiety from an evolutionary perspective, how social anxiety disorder is treated with medication and therapy, new treatments currently being studied, the importance of both a bottom-up and top-down approach to treatment, the power of exposure, and much more.
For those of you who are new to the show, welcome! Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers is brought to you by Numinus and is hosted by Dr. Steve Thayer and Dr. Reid Robison.
