Summary
One of the hardest parts about social anxiety is the feeling you are the only one with these struggles. It actually feeds into the disorder quite well. It is a story that many of us with social anxiety tell ourselves.
No one struggles like you do.
No one thinks the way you do.
No one would understand.
When I had Lori and her colleagues, Katie and Mallory, from The Childhood Collective on my podcast, I was surprised when Lori said she had social anxiety. I wanted to hear more and asked her if she’d be willing to come on the show to discuss it. Luckily she agreed!
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I sat down with Lori to hear about her social anxiety struggles, how it impacted her career and how treatment turned everything around.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the AT parenting survival podcast, where you get help and guidance through the |
| 0:08.2 | chaos of parenting a child with anxiety or OCD. This show is for educational purposes and is not intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional. |
| 0:18.0 | Here's your host, child therapist Natasha Daniels. |
| 0:22.0 | Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast. |
| 0:28.0 | Today we're going to be talking about one of my most passionate topics, I have a few of them actually which is |
| 0:34.7 | social anxiety and the reason why this is so passionate is because it's a disorder |
| 0:39.3 | that I've had my entire life and I'm raising three kids with social anxiety. They all have lots of other things going on but |
| 0:46.8 | social anxiety is definitely a family affair at my house and I was excited to meet Dr. Lori Long who I actually met through the |
| 0:58.8 | childhood collective which is a great fantastic website and they actually have a podcast too because we were |
| 1:04.7 | collaborating and I was tapping into their expertise around ADHD when just randomly we started talking and Lori brought up that she has social |
| 1:15.8 | anxiety and I was like oh me too you should come on my podcast would you |
| 1:22.3 | feel comfortable coming on my podcast and sharing your experience? |
| 1:25.4 | And she graciously agreed to do that which I appreciate because sometimes it's hard to take off our clinical hat, our professional hat, and be vulnerable and share our own stories with our own mental health struggles. |
| 1:40.0 | But I think those are the most powerful stories to tell |
| 1:43.6 | because they help normalize these struggles |
| 1:46.5 | on a deeper level to say, here I am a therapist. |
| 1:51.5 | I have all the right tools, I know what to do, I struggle with this too. |
| 1:56.7 | And I do feel like that's just very normalizing. |
| 1:59.5 | And I also think hearing other people's lived experience with various mental health issues is a great way to |
| 2:07.2 | feel empowered, to learn, to feel like you're not alone. |
| 2:10.5 | So today's episode will be Lori and I discussing our social anxiety. |
| 2:16.0 | Lori talks about her journey with it and how therapy has helped her. |
