In this episode, we will discuss some misconceptions you might have heard or even believed yourself while on this amazing journey with social anxiety. Being in this space for so long, I&apos;ve come across many insensitive remarks, with even many going so far as to tell me that there&apos;s no possible way that I have social anxiety because I show up. I want to tackle these myths and misconceptions so we can all be on the same page. I&apos;ll address some of these from my perspective, but each one will have evidence against it from a scientific perspective.

The hidden costs of social anxiety

A podcast that gets to the bottom of social anxiety (why it holds us back, how it does so, and what we can do about it) so that you get to the top where you believe you’re worth knowing.&nbsp;The truth is that social anxiety can permeate all areas of your life to the point where you no longer know where “you” begin and where your “social anxiety” ends.&nbsp;Here are some of the topics I'm going to cover in this podcast:- Cognitive distortions &amp; how they affect your social anxiety- Triggers and safety behaviors- The different types of social anxiety- Myths we're holding on toAs much as possible, I combine first-hand experience and my own journey with social anxiety with evidence-based studies and research.&nbsp;My hope with this podcast is that you’re empowered to show up comfortably and confidently as you, whatever that looks like, at any moment.
