In this episode, Gerald and Alexis explore the experience of social anxiety for the second time on this podcast. In this discussion, we try to normalize social anxiety as it relates to the internal human drive for connection. We provide context and nuance as to how and when social anxiety can become triggered. Gerald describes how he addresses social anxiety for his patients in psychotherapy pulling from multiple theoretical and practical viewpoints. Sub-topics discussed in this episode include social media's impact on social anxiety, communication patterns, identity, values, intentions, and mindsets.
