Dr. David Gross and Dr. Andrew Rosen take a deep dive into social anxiety, one of the most common yet misunderstood anxiety disorders. From early childhood experiences like book reports and school parties to high pressure corporate boardrooms, social anxiety shows up in ways that can limit connection, opportunity, and joy. Together, the doctors explore how overthinking, avoidance, and self criticism create a cycle that fuels the disorder and how exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, and proper treatment can break it. They also highlight how social anxiety differs from introversion, why self medication with alcohol is common, and why it is important to address the root cause rather than just the symptoms. Most importantly, they share hopeful insights into proven approaches that help people regain confidence and freedom in social situations.
