Welcome to Shrink for the Shy Guy.

This is the show for you if you are sick and tired of being held back by fear, self-doubt,

social anxiety, shyness, anything that's stopping you from you being you.

I'm going to share the most powerful tools and resources that I've been discovering over the last 15 years on my

journey to eradicate social anxiety and instill confidence, first in myself and then in every

single person that I meet on my journey. You're going to learn these tools and how to apply them

in your life now so that you can become the most free, powerful, bold, authentic version of you.

Everything you want in life is on the other side of a 10-minute sweaty conversation that you don't want to have.

Those are the words of a brilliant psychologist named Gay Hendricks.

And man, the more I've lived and experimented with this and helped clients do the same,

the more I've seen how damn right he is.

That so much in your life is on the other side of these conversations and you don't want

to have the conversations and they do make you sweaty, whether it's literally or not, but

they're unsettling, they're uncomfortable, they're disturbing, they're painful, they're

disorienting, they're undesirable, they're yucky, maybe there's shame or hurt or anger or conflict and it's like,

ah, I don't want to do it.

But on the other side of that is something extraordinary.

And that's what this episode is about, is about the conversation you don't want to have

will set you free.

I'm Dr. Z's, I'm your host for shrink for the shy guy.

I don't even know where we are.

I think we're nine years running almost.
