Social Anxiety: An Expert's Take

Welcome back to season 8. For my first episode of the season I am joined by associate professor and psychologist at Stanford University Dr Katie Fracalanza. Katie is a world renowned expert in many aspects of anxiety, from people pleasing to OCD and lots in between but for this chat we hone in on social anxiety in particular. Why do we struggle? Why is it so commonly experienced? What's happening when we feel socially anxious? What can we do to make our social encounters easier? We unpack the science and the theory as well as offer practical advice. Follow me on @OwningItPodcast for more. More on Katie here.
