Helping Someone With Social Anxiety Without Coddling Them

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Patrick and Tamekia talk through social anxiety in real-life terms, what it looks like, why it feels “uncontrollable” for some people, and how couples and families can support someone without accidentally keeping them stuck. They also discuss how COVID and isolation may have made it more common, the difference between being shy and social anxiety, and practical steps that can help, like healthier habits, support, therapy options, and encouragement that builds confidence.This is an honest discussion from two different personality types, one more “push them forward,” one more “let’s understand it first,” and we meet in the middle.If you’ve got a teen, adult child, spouse, or friend who struggles with social anxiety, you’re not alone, and neither are they.Note: This episode is for encouragement and discussion, not medical advice.Don’t miss an episode—subscribe to our podcast on your favorite platform.  Find more at rollinwiththedolans.com or search #rollinwiththedolans on social media to join the conversation.
