Social anxiety and overthinking don’t come from what others think—they come from the mental stories we tell ourselves. When we place other people’s perceived opinions above our own, perfectionism and anxiety take over.
In this podcast, Todd Perelmuter breaks down the root cause of social anxiety and shares how awareness, mindfulness, and presence can stop the overthinking spiral and bring lasting inner peace.
Key Takeaways:
• Why almost nobody is watching or judging you as harshly as yourself
• How resisting anxious thoughts amplifies stress in the body
• 2 steps to break free from overthinking and return to the present moment
• Why authenticity is the ultimate antidote to social anxiety
