Does facing your fears work to beat social anxiety?

In this episode... Have you been told that confronting your social fears head-on is the ultimate cure? It's a notion many of us have grappled with, and I did too, from the bustling streets of Amsterdam to nerve-wracking public speaking stages... ...but what if this mainstream advice isn't the golden key? In this episode, I share my own experiences with social anxiety and explore why the "face your fears" mantra may not be the ideal solution. I'll also highlight four critical drawbacks of this tactic that many people overlook. But don't lose hope! There's a groundbreaking method on the horizon: EFT Tapping. Backed by over 100 scientific studies, this approach has been proven to help people overcome social anxiety. Skeptical?
