Social anxiety is real, frustrating and interferes with your joy of life in ways that you can see and feel - but can't get out of.
It's come up in more than a few conversations I've been having recently, and it Hurts. My. Heart. that so many of you are still trying to find your way out - and help your kids too.
My social anxiety started before I can even remember, and hit the roof in my 30s after having Boy: depression and GAD, layered with post-natal depression, a marriage I landed in but didn't want, a career completely derailed.
And my fear of people meant that more that a few minutes in a crowd became physically painful and overwhelming.
I removed my social anxiety in 3 steps.
No one taught me how to do it. At that point I hadn't read a book, article or post - because the internet was young, there were no posts to read and recognise myself in. And more information was something I couldn't cope with.
Besides which, how can you get help when you don't know how to ask and can't have conversations for fear of being seen as someone not worth knowing.
I had to work it out for myself.
So i tried another way - one that proved so brilliant for me that it turned me into a very happy social butterfly who now throws a birthday/Christmas party for 30 people every winter, and goes networking 4 or 5 times a month for business.
I even danced with Boy in the supermarket aisle, and now I during events during The DAY!!!
I've explained it a few people and last week it occurred to me that I should share it. They all said 'Wow, I hadn't thought of that. This is a game changer'.
And they said it with a smile on their faces.
I believe this method is missing in standard therapeutic treatment. It shouldn't be - it should be part of it. And I want to share it with more people.
If you need to get rid of your fear of being in public, small talk and that feeling of oppression you get after half an hour in a full room, I'm running a workshop - 1.5 hours of your time and a very small financial investment - to free yourself from the agony.
Plus you get ongoing what's app support for when you next go out and need back-up to stay and to prove to yourself that you ARE that strong.
Time to get rid of the baggage?
