from Do You F*cking Mind? · host Alexis Fernandez-Preiksa - Neuroscientist and Mindset Coach

In this episode, I delve into social anxiety disorder (SAD). I go into the differences between social anxiety and shyness, and the neuroscience behind social anxiety, including the role of the amygdala and the impact of serotonin and dopamine on our behavior. The episode covers the DSM-5 definition of social anxiety disorder, and I share practical advice on how to manage social anxiety, including exposure therapy, cognitive reappraisal, and social skills practice. If you're struggling with social anxiety, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to help you understand and manage your symptoms.    Danke! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
