Social Anxiety and Facing Your Fears: Mailbag | Being Well

Описание: ​‪@RickHanson‬ and I open up the mailbag and answer questions from listeners, many of which focused on anxiety. We start by discussing “dreaded experiences,” and how we can respond when our worst fears come true. Rick then shares how we can respond effectively to feedback, before answering a short question about taking in the good. We then answer three questions related to different kinds of anxiety: social anxiety, managing different levels of concern in a relationship, and anxiety brought on by slowing down.
