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.

Hey, welcome today's episode of the show. Today, we're going to be looking at how we see ourselves.

And the way that we see ourselves can be either very expansive and liberating or very confining.

And there's so many ways that our identity shows up in our lives.

And it determines whether we think we can do something or think that we can't,

whether we approach someone or don't.

Even the level of worthiness we feel can be related to our identity.

And this is something that it's a fantastic conversation that I go deep into

with a licensed psychotherapist and a dear friend of mine,

someone that I spent many years with when I was younger,

and we recently reconnected, and I wanted to introduce you to him

and just get a window him and I had these long extended conversations throughout the night.

This one is relatively tame because our conversations would start with psychology and identity

and, you know, who are we really and how do we grow and then they venture into the more strange

realms of psychedelics and metaphysical and even aliens and all that kind of stuff.

So we didn't get into the crazy stuff in this episode.
