Summary
Social anxiety isn’t about not being able to make friends or keep friends. It is about the overwhelming feeling of judgment, criticism and rejection one feels.
In this week’s podcast I chat with my 9 year old about her struggles with social anxiety (it runs in the family), and what has helped her make huge progress crushing those struggles.

| 0:24.0 | Hello there. therapist Natasha Daniels. Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast and |
| 0:29.2 | is actually going on my YouTube channel as well today. |
| 0:32.2 | I have a special guest in the studio. I have Miss Nine. Thank you for coming. |
| 0:38.0 | Thank you for having me. Yeah. So before we get started we are going to be talking about social anxiety which is something that I know way too well and I know as well |
| 0:52.2 | Social anxiety is highly genetic, so it's not surprising that it's going to run in families |
