Red Face: Social Anxiety with Russell Norris

Do you struggle with social anxiety, feel a sense of shame and inadequacy when in public, or class yourself as a highly sensitive person? If the answer is yes, then you will find much value in this week's guest interview with Russell Norris, who has successfully battled a debilitating social anxiety disorder, the results of which have now been published in his incredible new book 'Red Face: How I Learnt To Live With Social Anxiety'. Russell joins Paul to discuss the book, how his own social anxiety grew and where he believes it emerged from in his life, and the practical ways in which you yourself can recognise the symptoms and get to work on defeating them.

When you are so anxious about situations in life, and subsequently steer away from them, it means that you miss out on some of the most formative experiences. This can serve to deepen the sense of anxiety and remorse. Sharing the pains of social anxiety can serve to release the inner tension that builds. Trust is the key here. A myth of normality is often perpetuated in the workplace - an unavoidable environment. Not everyone wishes to be "on display" or in a constant state of interaction. Things have shifted in the advent of COVID, and thankfully sensitivities are now being considered with the rise of remote working.  QUOTES 'Social anxiety arrived for me with a bang' 'Regret can be quite toxic' 'It removed my anxiety, but it also removed my personality' 'I was always trying to find places where I could find quiet and concentrate' 'It's a myth, that to get the best out of people they have to all be in the same place at the same time' VALUABLE RESOURCES Red Face: How I Learnt To Live With Social Anxiety - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Redface-Learnt-Live-Social-Anxiety-ebook/dp/B08K3X2NW3 Russell Norris Twitter - www.twitter.com/@BeyondTheBlush Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Coaching and Therapy The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard Paul is well known for his holistic therapy and coaching approach  when working with anxiety, stress, confidence, and motivation, understanding, and treating the root causes and surrounding issues He has a passion for understanding how the mind works and has been trained in many therapies.
