Social anxiety can be a prevalent part of ADHD, yet we often don't understand or spot how it shows up. By seeing and validating it for what it is, we can help ourselves with more awareness and discover empowering everyday tools.
This week’s guest is Mita Mistry, a columnist, mindfulness-based cognitive therapist, acupuncturist and author. Her book How to Understand and Deal with Social Anxiety is aimed at raising awareness and helping people deal with social anxiety.
During this episode, Kate and Mita spoke about:
- Recognising social anxiety and how it may show up for you
- The psychical reactions to social anxiety
- How social anxiety manifests with ADHD
- How to overcome social anxiety by breaking down the thoughts behind it
- Using CBT to help anxiety
- What trauma can look like with ADHD
- Tips to deal with social situations
- The trauma of the waiting and process of an ADHD diagnosis
- Normalising socialising in our different ways
- Creating more authentic connections
