Do you often feel held back by self-doubt, fear of judgment, or the belief that you’re just “not good enough”? 

You’re not alone, and you’re not stuck that way. Shyness and social anxiety are often fueled by deep-seated shame and self-critical beliefs that quietly sabotage your confidence and relationships.

This webinar draws on the latest cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help you stop the cycle of self-sabotage and start creating genuine, meaningful connections. Presented by author and ADAA member expert, Larry Cohen, LICSW, this session helps uncover the roots of your social fears and provide practical, evidence-based tools to overcome them.

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how to quiet your inner critic, challenge the belief that you’re “not enough,” and begin building the confidence and courage to connect authentically with others.

What you'll learn:

  • How to challenge self-critical thoughts that fuel anxiety, fear, and isolation.
  • How to reframe shame-based beliefs that keep you feeling flawed or unworthy.
  • Tips for building authentic confidence through self-compassion and evidence-based strategies for connection.
