The Social Confidence Club is currently closed.
We open once per year so we can fully focus on the members inside.
If you’d like to continue working on your social anxiety now,
Fast Social Anxiety Relief is available as a self-paced option.
It allows you to work gently, on your own schedule.
Overcome Social Anxiety — Without Forcing Exposure
A structured path out of social anxiety that does not require forced exposure, or becoming someone else.
“I thought I was the toughest case. I don’t feel that way anymore.””
- Kate
If you’re considering joining, the page below lays out the structure, what weekly participation looks like, and what most people notice over time.
Before you scroll
If you’ve lived with social anxiety for a long time, you’ve probably tried to fix it before.
Maybe therapy. Exposure. Self-help. Or even tapping.
That doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means what you tried wasn’t the right approach for how your nervous system works.
The Social Confidence Club exists for people who are done blaming themselves and want an approach that works with the nervous system instead of against it.
Below, you’ll see how it works in practice, what participation looks like, and what most members notice over time.
If you’ve tried everything before…
Why most people stay stuck
When people try to work through social anxiety alone, they usually hit the same three walls.
Wall 1: They don’t know what to target.
Social anxiety has layers. If you don’t know what to work on, or in what order, you go in circles. Random tapping can create relief. Systematic work creates progress that holds.
Wall 2: They can’t get themselves to do the work.
Not because they’re lazy. Because the path feels unclear, resistance is high, and it becomes easy to drift when life gets busy. And sometimes, it’s just really hard. Often we get started, make progress, and then get triggered again. When that happens, it’s easy to feel discouraged or even hopeless. If you’ve felt yourself drifting before, it’s not because you lack discipline.
Change requires structure and reinforcement. The weekly structure exists precisely for this.
It removes the need for willpower by giving you something to return to, regardless of how motivated you feel.
Wall 3: They start believing it won’t work for them either.
After years of struggling, most people already doubt change is possible.
A setback then confirms the old story:
“I’m a tough case.” “Nothing works for me.”
The Social Confidence Club is built around those three walls.
Not random techniques.
A structured program to follow.
You get a step-by-step roadmap, so you know what to work on and in what order. You get weekly structure, so you keep going even when motivation dips. And when setbacks happen, you have support to work through them instead of falling off the path.
How the Social Confidence Club actually works
The Social Confidence Club has been running since 2019.
The Social Confidence Club is a structured environment designed to help your nervous system change how it responds to social situations.
That means we’re not just reducing anxiety in the moment; we’re working on the triggers, memories, and patterns that generate it in the first place.
Instead of pushing yourself into discomfort and hoping you “get used to it,” the focus here is on repeated experiences of safety.
Over time, those experiences change how you react to social situations.
This isn’t willpower exposure or a quick fix.
Instead, we focus on:
- Calming the nervous system
- Updating the emotional triggers behind the anxiety
- Gradual expansion over time
You move through these stages gradually, at your own pace.
Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
If you struggle to stay consistent…
A typical week inside the Club
A typical week looks like this:
- They tap along once or twice using a guided session
- They watch one live session or a replay
- Then they go live their life and use tapping where needed
That’s it.
There is a weekly rhythm if you want it, but nothing here needs to be done perfectly for it to help.
The weekly structure
If you choose to follow the rhythm, it looks like this:
- Early in the week: a guided tap-along focused to release resistance and boost motivation
- Later in the week: a short tapping exercise on a specific social anxiety trigger
- On the weekend: a live coaching session, with replays available
Some people join live every week.
Others mostly use the replays.
Both approaches are completely fine.
This is not a full-time commitment.
It’s designed to fit alongside work, relationships, and real life.
If a week gets busy and you miss something, nothing breaks.
You simply pick it up again when it fits.
The Weekly Breakthrough Sessions
Each week we work directly on a specific layer of social anxiety in a 90-minute session.
These sessions create the conditions your nervous system needs to change, whether you join live or tap along from home.
Most members watch the replays and tap in their own time. That alone creates real progress. Some join live. Many do it anonymously with camera off and muted.
When someone volunteers, the usual fears show up.
– Running out of things to say.
– Being judged.
– Being seen anxious.
– Losing control.
In normal life, people try to hide these feelings.
In the Club, social anxiety is not a secret.
We are working with the same nervous system patterns, with a clear way to calm them.
So when someone joins, the first thing I ask is how anxious they feel, from 0 to 10. Then we start tapping right away.
At the start of the year, people often report 7, 8, 9, 10.
Over time, most people notice those numbers coming down.
The formats vary:
- Deep dives — one volunteer, full session on their biggest issue
- Group rounds with several volunteers
- Themed sessions on self-consciousness, rejection, blushing, perfectionism
- Fear-of-participation sessions with tiny optional challenges and tapping before and after
Nothing is forced. Everything is optional. You are always in control.
If a session triggers you, you tap and your system calms down again. Over time it learns: this discomfort is not dangerous. And when something no longer feels dangerous, the threat response naturally reduces.
If it doesn’t trigger you, but you relate to the topic, you are still tapping on the beliefs and patterns that create the threat response.
Either way, something shifts. Week after week.
If you’re afraid of being seen…
Participation and anonymity
You never have to speak, share, or be visible for this to work.
Inside the Social Confidence Club, people participate in different ways, and all of them are valid.
Many members:
- never turn on their camera
- never speak in a live session
- mainly watch replays and tap along privately
Others choose to be more interactive over time. Most people start quietly. Many stay that way.
“The fact that you’ve got the choice and you know you’re not going to get picked on unless you’ve put your hand up to volunteer, that makes it really comfortable.”
- Becca
There is no expectation to move toward any particular level of participation.
Borrowing benefits
When someone else is being coached, you can tap along on your own version of the same issue. People often feel relief just from doing that.
This is sometimes called “borrowing benefits.”
You get the benefit without being in the spotlight.
For most people, this is how change happens: quietly and without pressure.
You’ve probably had the following experience:
You’re watching a movie. The main character loses someone they love. And even though it’s not happening to you, you feel it.
Or maybe you see someone embarrass themselves in front of others. And even though it’s not happening to you, you feel the embarrassment. Your face might even flush.
That’s not you being overly sensitive. That’s how nervous systems work. Our brain mirrors the emotional state of the person we’re seeing. And we feel what they feel, even if it’s just subtle.
That same mirroring happens in these sessions.
And because everyone here has social anxiety, what we work on is highly relatable.
You’re not watching someone process a snake phobia.
You’re watching someone work through exactly what you deal with.
So when someone releases something while you’re tapping along quietly at home, your system often goes through a similar shift.
You don’t have to be the one speaking for this to work.
“There was always something in everybody that I could relate to… I could just tap along and have relief by tapping on their issues.”
- Kate
The shame begins to reduce
Most people with social anxiety have been dealing with this quietly for years. They think they’re the only one. That something is wrong with them.
After hearing many people describe the same fears you have… After seeing those fears calm down in real time… It becomes harder to keep believing you’re defective.
That reduction in shame is not a small thing. With less shame, social situations feel less threatening. And when social situations feel less threatening, anxiety decreases naturally.
Community without pressure
The community exists to reduce isolation, not to create performance.
Between sessions, members connect in a private WhatsApp group and forum. People share small wins, ask questions, and support each other when something comes up during the week.
Participation is optional.
You choose how present you want to be:
- listening only
- tapping along
- or sharing when and if it feels right
There is no requirement to post, introduce yourself, or explain your story.
Some members are active. Others mostly read and tap along privately.
What matters is that you’re no longer doing this alone.
Over time, that sense of safety and understanding becomes familiar and naturally carries into real life.
The kind of changes people notice over time
People never experience one big moment where social anxiety disappears.
What tends to happen instead is a series of smaller shifts that build over time.
Early on, many people notice things like:
- physical symptoms becoming less intense
(racing heart, tightness in the stomach, lump in the throat) - feeling less ashamed of having social anxiety
- less self-criticism after social situations
- being able to bring anxiety down when it shows up
These shifts can feel subtle at first, but they add up over time.
As this work continues, many people begin to notice:
- anxiety episodes becoming less intense and passing more quickly
- social anxiety triggers having less grip
- less anticipation before events and less replaying afterward
- more space to be themselves around other people
Over time, social situations can start to feel more neutral, and for some people, genuinely enjoyable.
How long this takes is different for everyone. But most members don’t stay at the same level for long. They begin noticing shifts. Less intensity. Less shame. Fewer triggers.
“I was struggling with social anxiety for as long as i can remember it definitely was really bad.“
“You had some videos I could just go back on when I’d have, like, a situation where it was really bad and I felt anxious after and embarrassed, I would, you know, do little tap on, on that, and it would release it.”
“I don’t even consider myself to have social anxiety at all anymore.”
- Jessica
And the experience inside the Club itself tends to feel safer than people expect.
“It’s never uncomfortable unless I choose for it to be uncomfortable.”
- Becca
“It’s definitely not painful at all. It’s incredibly comforting and it’s a safe place.”
- Deb
It’s steady movement forward, in an environment most people find easier to be in than they anticipated.
Most new members think they’re the exception.
“At first tapping didn’t really seem to work for me.”
“I was like, really hopeless. At some point I was like, Am I, you know, is it really possible for me to overcome this?”
“The last time I got triggered like more intensely was a long time ago. Like, well, five months”
“I feel like I’m a lot more happy with myself and I’m like a lot more at ease with myself”
- Jan Verbeek
They assume this works for others, but probably not for them.
Many of the testimonials you’re about to read are from people who said exactly that before they joined:
“I’m the tougher case of the tough cases.”
“This probably won’t work for me.”
“I’ve tried everything.”
That doubt is normal. It doesn’t disqualify you.
What members say about their experience
Members usually describe their progress as gradual rather than dramatic.
Many first notice they beat themselves up less when anxiety shows up, and feel more capable of responding to it rather than getting pulled into a spiral. Over time, social anxiety tends to feel less intense, triggers settle more quickly, and episodes pass faster instead of lingering for hours or days.
These are a few examples of what people have shared about their experience inside the Social Confidence Club.
“Basically all of my anticipatory anxiety is gone until very close to an event that I know will likely be triggering.
It just means I spend a lot less time and energy thinking about what’s coming.
There are still some things that trigger me pretty intensely, and I know I still have work to do. But I also know I have a toolset I can use for that, and that there is a solution.”
– Claudia
“There are still aspects I haven’t worked through yet that can trigger me, and I still get a response sometimes.
But the response is much smaller than it was at the start, and it sticks around for way less time.
I can almost feel it, and even as I’m feeling it, it’s already on its way out in a lot of cases.”
– Graham
“Sometimes I don’t even worry beforehand anymore, and if I do, it might just be for a few minutes.
Before, it was for days, sometimes even weeks, worrying about an event that was coming up. And when I was there, I’d stay anxious the whole time, forcing myself to be there for hours.
Now I usually go in, and within a few minutes I can calm down. It feels weird to say that, because it’s more like I let it happen instead of trying to push it away. When I let it be there, it resolves. When I tried to push it down and hide it, it never went away.
And after the event, instead of replaying everything for days, losing sleep, and thinking it was a bad experience, I usually feel glad I went. It often feels like something positive came out of it.”
– Deb
The blushing has gone away almost completely. Sometimes I still feel some heat in my face, but I don’t try to avoid it anymore. It’s not a big thing now. Everybody blushes sometimes. That’s natural. It feels more human. And overall, it’s mostly gone.”
– Tapani

Who this is for / not for
Who this is for
This makes sense for you if:
- You recognize that trying harder alone hasn’t solved it.
- You want a clear path instead of guessing what to work on.
- You’re open to progress building gradually over time.
- You want support that doesn’t require you to perform or expose yourself before you’re ready.
Whether social anxiety shows up in most situations or only specific ones, and whether you’ve been dealing with it for two years or thirty, the approach is the same: working with your nervous system gradually, without pressure. Members range from their twenties to their sixties. Some joined after decades of struggling. Change is still possible.
Who it isn’t for
It doesn’t make sense if:
- You’re looking for a quick fix. That doesn’t exist.
- You’re dealing with severe depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, or other complex conditions that need specialized clinical support.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to speak or be on camera?
No. You can keep your camera off, never speak, and simply tap along or watch replays. Many members participate fully without ever being visible or sharing in a live session.
How much time does this take each week?
Less than you might think. The Tuesday tap-along is about 10 minutes. The Thursday exercise is around 15. The Sunday workshop is 90 minutes, but most people who watch replays split it up over a commute, a walk, or lunch. You don’t have to do everything to benefit. Some people mostly attend the workshops. Others also tap during the week. Over time, tapping tends to become something you reach for naturally. Because it works, you reach for it. Not because you have to.
Is this suitable if I've already tried tapping and it didn't last?
Yes, and that’s common.
Many members experienced temporary relief before joining but struggled to make it stick.
The difference here is targeting the right layers in the right order, with structure, repetition, and weekly reinforcement. Instead of working through it alone, you follow a clear roadmap in an environment that consistently reinforces safety.
What if it doesn't work for me?
That’s exactly why there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee. Join. Attend sessions. Watch replays. Tap along. Experience the structure. If within 30 days it doesn’t feel like the right fit, send us a short email and we’ll refund you. Reply to any email with something as short as “refund please” and we’ll process your refund right away. No questions asked. No awkward conversations.
Can I cancel if I choose the monthly option?
Yes. If you join monthly, you can cancel anytime before your next billing date.
How long do people usually stay in the Club?
There’s no fixed timeline. Some people stay for months. Others for years. Members stay as long as it feels useful.
What if I miss sessions or fall behind?
Nothing breaks. All live sessions are recorded and core material is revisited regularly. So you can simply return whenever it fits. This is designed to work alongside real life, not require perfect consistency.
Is this right for severe depression, OCD, or other primary conditions?
No. The Social Confidence Club is specifically designed for social anxiety. If depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, or another condition is your primary issue, this isn’t the right program for you. Those require a different type of support. If social anxiety is the main block in your life, this approach may be a good fit.
Is this therapy?
No. The Social Confidence Club is a coaching-based program, not therapy, and it doesn’t replace medical or psychological treatment. The focus is on working with the nervous system using tapping and related techniques to reduce social anxiety and build more ease over time.
Do I need to have done a challenge or previous training?
No. Some people join after doing a challenge. Others arrive without any prior experience. Everything you need to participate is explained inside the Club.
