Episode 136: Conquering the fear of being judged by others

The fear of being judged by others is a fear that I commonly
encounter in the scope of my clinical practice. The key to
conquering this fear is an understanding of a clunky
psychological concept called "theory of mind." This means that we
unconsciously project the content and structure of our own
consciousness onto others in order to facilitate interpersonal
interaction. An amazing consequence of this tendency is that we
can alter our actual experience of reality by changing the
content of our own consciousness. I'll discuss more in this
episode.
