We explore the complexities of social anxiety with renowned psychotherapist Jonathan Berent. We delve into two contrasting cases: a high-achieving physician facing performance anxiety and a young adult paralyzed by avoidance. Jonathan shares insights on how trauma, perfectionism, and family dynamics contribute to social anxiety and discusses practical treatment strategies that integrate both technique and core emotional work. Join us as we uncover the critical elements for understanding and overcoming social anxiety.
