1. Understanding Social Anxiety.  We’ll cover: What Social Anxiety is; How it happens; Why it happens; Where it happens.  

2. 6 Key Aspects that keep Social Anxiety going.  We’ll cover (in detail) WHAT keeps your Social Anxiety going.

What is Worry?

While worrying and feeling nervous is something that all human beings experience, as with many things in life, too much of something may not be good for you.

Normal anxiety can become a problem when it:

• Becomes excessive;
• Feels uncomfortable and intrusive in our day-to-day functioning;
• Is persistent– always seems to be around;
• Causes us significant distress;
• Stops us from getting a good-night sleep.

In this podcast, you will learn about:

1. Understanding Worry.

The first thing we'll cover is WHAT WORRYING IS. How it happens, why it happens, what happens to our bodies when we worry, the lot.

2. Positive and negative beliefs about worry.

It may surprise you that we hold POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BELIEFS ABOUT WORRYING. Both can actually keep us in 'vicious worry cycle' that's so hard to get out of. But more at the event!

3. Problem solving.

If the worry is solvable, we should attempt to solve it. Here comes my 6-step problem- solving kit (you'll get a copy of my problem-solving kit after the event).

What is Assertiveness?

Assertiveness is a communication style. It is being able to express your feelings, thoughts, beliefs and opinions in an open manner that doesn’t violate the rights of others.
