Afraid of Being Judged? Here’s the Real Reason Why

In this episode... We analyses the "Act as if" concept from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Can pretending to be confident and likable really help you overcome social anxiety? We share the theory and our thoughts on its practicality. Seb discusses his personal journey of stepping out of the comfort zone and highlights the challenges and rewards of taking action as if you're already confident. But does this approach lead to lasting self-confidence? Seb also introduces an alternative strategy - Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), which focuses on addressing the emotional roots of social anxiety. Tune in to learn how tapping helps you build the lasting self confidence we all desire to have! LAST CALL: Join our free 30 Day Social Confidence Challenge, starting 1st January 2024!

In this episode... Have you ever come across those motivational messages that tell you not to care about what others think? The ones that remind you that other people are too busy with their own lives to judge you, and that, in the grand scheme of things, your worries aren't that significant? It all sounds great, doesn't it? But here's the catch: as soon as you find yourself in a social situation, that anxiety creeps right back in In this episode, we dive into the slightly more complex world of social anxiety and get to why motivational advice of this kind doesn’t really work: Your rational brain might grasp these motivational mantras, your emotional brain doesn't always get the memo. Logic and reason alone can't quell the storm of social anxiety. So what’s the alternative to really stop giving a F*ck? Tune in to find out!
