How to Disable Social Anxiety

When we feel socially anxious, our adrenaline is going to be higher. This changes our pattern of breathing and that adrenaline is actually going to make us feel more panicked. So if we want a short circuit, our social anxiety, what we really need to do is recruit these other parts of the brain like the visual association cortex. We can take in sort of slow deep breaths, but especially slow exhalation is really important. It'll physiologically disable that adrenaline. And as we disable the adrenaline will start to feel more relaxed. Our amygdala will start to shut off. As our amygdala shuts off that voice inside you that is worried will start to get short circuited.
