Coming to you from the Center for Social Confidence in Portland, Oregon,

Welcome to Shrink for the Shy Guy, helping men everywhere go from social anxiety to social domination

with your host, Dr. Riziz.

Hey, welcome today's episode of the show.

How you doing today?

from over the last almost two years now. She's someone that I've had the privilege of being able to

work with. She's been my coach and trained me in a lot of ways. And one of the core things that I've

and facing your fears. And I'd done that for years and developed a high level of confidence

as a result. But there was always this kind of tension in it,

but it can also be draining and kind of depleting.

And you can have this experience, which maybe you've had before,

or you get the relationship that you want or the success that you want, but it doesn't produce a

sense of peace and ease. Then it's just the next thing, the next goal, the next outcome, the next

level. And there's this kind of continual stress or striving underneath that can diminish

the enjoyment of actually, you know, taking in and feeling satisfied and happy and grateful
