88. Self Acceptance a Key to Social Confidence

In this episode…

We are doing a look back to episode 5 with Steve Wells about self-acceptance to become socially confident.

We share the importance of self-acceptance as it is the key to social confidence…

… we’ll be looking back to episode 5 where I interviewed Steve Wells to discuss what is at the root of social anxiety, what prevents people from moving forward, and how you can finally stop this vicious cycle and become free in social situations.

Here are some things you’ll learn:

Why we’ve only learned to accept certain parts of ourselves
Why the key to overcoming social anxiety is to accept what we’ve previously not been accepting in ourselves
How to aim and work towards social confidence, with nothing to hide and the freedom to be yourself.

A question I am asked most frequently, is “how long will it take to overcome my social anxiety?”.

And the short answer is that it depends on your situation. But most people can overcome the bulk of your social anxiety in 1-2 months, investing about 30min of tapping on the right issues.

I’ve created a PDF to help you shorten the journey, and to uncover some of the right issues to target your tapping at. This PDF is based on coaching socially phobic clients since 2009, and it’s called “12 Shortcuts to Social Confidence”.

Each shortcut shortens your journey, getting you social anxiety-free much faster.
