Description

What would you do if Social Anxiety weren't holding you back?

Social Anxiety can be a very painful experience. Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Do you fear when the cinema worker hands you your ticket stub and says "Enjoy the movie!" you'll say: "You too!"

  • You don't attend parties or other social gatherings because you're too fearful you'll say something embarrassing or be alone in the corner.

  • If you do attend said party, you replay over and over things you said or what you imagine people were thinking of you.

  • You feel you're missing out on friendships or a romantic relationship because it's too hard to meet others.

  • You would never ever ever ever ever ask that girl/guy out.

  • You don't go for the job interview or promotion because the idea of this interaction is too anxiety provoking.

  • You don't send your order back to the kitchen even though you ordered linguini but they brought you sushi.

  • You're afraid to fail, take risks, or try new things because you're worried about what others will think.

  • It feels like your feelings hijack you and fear controls you.

  • You don't like going out at all.

  • You won't wear your favourite band's t-shirt because they have that one song, with that one lyric, that has the potential to be taken out of context and offend someone.

Whether your social anxiety is impacting every level or your life or just making you feel uncomfortable much of the time, this course will be helpful for you. Dr Daniel Biddle is a Clinical Psychologist who has helped many clients overcome their social phobias using science-based and proven methods.

Because Social Anxiety is a difficult topic, we've done our best to take away some of its power by keeping this course light-hearted, entertaining, and interesting. And yeah, we also think we're pretty funny and hope you do too.

Who this course is for:

  • You should have either no therapy experience or only a few sessions related to social anxiety.
  • This course is for you if you are looking for a lighter and engaging approach to social anxiety.
  • This course probably won't work for you if you think Psychology/Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is fake or akin to witchcraft.
