This video is about why anxiety discounts your successes. You did exposure, it went well… so how come that good feeling doesn’t last? If you understand why this makes sense, you won’t get as bothered when it happens. It will also make it clear what next steps you can take. Your goal with exposure is to show your brain that IT is going to be OK. If you are interested, you can work on your social anxiety with my new book here: We'll talk about: 0:00 - Question from YouTube 0:33 - Your anxious brain needs to LEARN before it will calm down 1:07 - It is designed to overestimate danger 1:33 - The real KEY to exposure 2:02 - Think of your emotional brain as a child 2:27 - Why we need to do exposure in different circumstances 3:56 - What we need to show our brains 4:23 - My book is out if you want more I'm Dr. Thomas Smithyman, a clinical psychologist making videos to help people overcome social anxiety.

Most people with social anxiety never seek help, and those who do usually wait 16 years! Treatment is effective but people don't know about it. I'd like that to change, and I'd really appreciate any help.
