Brad Yates explains how social anxiety is there to serve us. And why it can be so challenging to overcome it. And he then shares the big picture steps to overcoming it. He goes into why we don't love ourselves, common blocks to loving yourself, and we talk about exposure therapy at great length.

He shares an easy-to-understand visual metaphor that helps you see how forcefully facing your fears is futile, and that there are smarter, more efficient ways to overcome your fears.

QUOTE: "if we're not good enough to love ourselves, how on earth are we even good enough for other people to love us? If we think poorly of ourselves, we're naturally going to expect others to think poorly of us."
