30: Overcome Social Anxiety: 5 Simple Mental Techniques

I was talking with a friend of mine the other day - a fellow
recovering addict - and I was sharing about my past with
addiction and how social anxiety was a big struggle in my life
and actually fueled my addiction - in other words, I went to
addiction in order to cope with the immense amount of nervousness
and fear I felt in relationships and social situations. 


I told this friend that I had some mental techniques and
spiritual methods that I could teach her to help her overcome
social anxiety and that I could share those with her. 


But I also know, from personal experience and from listening to
others, that neither I nor she are isolated in the struggles
we’ve had with both social anxiety and addiction. 


Addicts often struggle with social anxiety. Especially porn
addicts. Do all of us addicts? No, of course not, but there is a
connection between social anxiety and addiction to whatever
degree. 


So, for my friend, and all of those other people out there
struggling with social anxiety, I wanted to make this episode for
you. 


What I’m going to share is based on principles of psychology as
well as principles of faith in God. 


Most of what I’ll teach you are thought patterns and mental
habits you can adopt to change the way that you think about
yourself, other people, and relationships so that you can manage
and decrease social anxiety. 


These are mental tools that you can use any time, anywhere, and
they take PRACTICE. The more you repeat them, the more you will
train your brain to think differently and form new habits. 


So, let’s dive in.
