About this episode

Use this opportunity to secure one of the limited spots and be guided to social confidence in the most effective and gentle way, from the comfort of your own home! All info at bit.ly/socialconfidenceclub P.S. Don’t hesitate and go there now! We only open the Club once a year for 5 days! Use this chance!! --- 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.”
