Social Anxiety with Teen Life Coach Sami Halvorsen - Ep 32

Have you ever felt anxious about giving a speech in front of a class or inadvertently becoming the center or attention? This version of anxiousness called social anxiety is not a form of introversion or about being shy, rather it is a feeling like everything in a social situation is pointing towards us. Social anxiety comes to life and begins to present itself the most as we become teens. Today we hear Sami share ways to identify the ways social anxiety can show up, as well as give us invaluable tools of how to work through our anxiety in these situations.---knowingup.comSince she was in her teens, Sami Halvorsen has been an expert at feeling anxiety. If there was a world contest for the person who has felt the most anxiety, she just might be the champion! If you’ve ever experienced anxiety, you know how horrible it feels. You also know how it affects every part of your life. In her journey to feel better, she has tried so many different things. (Because when you feel horrible, you basically will do just about anything to feel better!) She studied relentlessly to find the answers and tools that eventually changed her life. She fell so in love with these tools that she knew she had to teach them. She worked very hard to become a Certified Life Coach through the Life Coach School (best program ever). She has taken the knowledge, tools, and skills she has mastered and put them together into programs adapted for teenage girls and young adult women. Instagram---In Your Ellement is a teen-hosted podcast covering conversations with teen allies.
