| 0:00.0 | Coming to you from the Center for Social Confidence in Portland, Oregon. |
| 0:05.0 | Welcome to Shrink for the Shy Guy, helping men everywhere go from social anxiety to social domination. |
| 0:13.0 | With your host, Dr. Riziz. |
| 0:17.0 | Hello, welcome to another episode of Shrink for the Shy Guy. Today is going to be part two in changing the way you think. |
| 0:24.6 | And as you probably, you might already know this, even before you've listened to any of the other podcast or anything that I put out there, you might already have a sense that if you could just change the way you think about something, that you'd feel entirely different |
| 0:37.7 | about it. That if you didn't think that those people were judging you, that you would feel better. |
| 0:42.9 | That if you didn't think that you couldn't do something and you weren't good enough, that maybe you |
