Social Anxiety
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Social anxiety can feel incredibly exposing, like there's nowhere to hide. Introducing ourselves to a bunch of people or saying our name in a group can feel like a terrifying and even life-threatening task. And that's before we even get to giving a public talk.
There's usually a fear of being judged, criticised or shamed. And the fear of the anxiety arising in company is usually more debilitating than the anxiety itself. The important thing to know is that it's a very normal fear, and that lots of people experience it.

Ari Goldberger
Psychologist, Bachelor Of Science (Psychology), Post Graduate Diploma of Psychology, Masters of Psychology (Counselling)
Social anxiety has it's root in a lack self-love. When we are not consciously and/or unconsciously comfortable with ourselves, we are immediately fearful of rejection from the people around us. This results in a heightened arousal of the nervous system to prepare for rejection, judgement, and failure.

Ilana Grosman
Registered Psychotherapist
Covid amplified our social insecurities so much! Our society was already so warped and misaligned, making how we relate more competitive and pressured than it was ever supposed to be. With that and social media, our ability to build true authentic connection is in dire need of reevaluation!
You are so much greater than you can ever know! if only we could see ourselves the way others see us. Everyone is deserving of love, supportive relationships (friendships, lovers, meaningful connections) and fulfilment. It would be my honour to sit beside you and empower you to find your source of inner truth, turning down the volume of that critical voice in your head directing you away from your essential nature. Let us meet your particular flavour of greatness and travel together to relieve the pressure and start to make connection real again.
