Are you a young adult ready to tackle your social anxiety and build your confidence so that you can date, form new relationships, and make friends?

Are you:

  • Feeling awkward, uncomfortable, and self-conscious in groups, social activities, or work meetings? Constantly feeling like a spotlight is on you, with everyone judging and critiquing your every move?

  • Feeling dread and fear about going on a date, convinced you’ll come across as awkward and strange, and that there won’t be a second date? Secretly craving a relationship but feeling like you can never truly be in one?

  • Replaying and overthinking conversations you had earlier in the day, feeling foolish and embarrassed about what you said?

  • Struggling with assertiveness and connecting with others, which can be deeply frustrating, and feeling like it’s holding you back in making friends, dating, having a relationship, or your career?

  • Scrolling through social media, comparing yourself to others, and feeling like you don't measure up? Wondering why you can’t be as confident and socially adept as they appear to be?

  • Struggling to manage anxiety? Feeling like it’s holding you back?

  • Unable to shut off your constant—and unhelpful—inner monologue? 

  • Thinking about all the things that could go wrong?

  • Second-guessing yourself for fear of making a mistake?

  • Experiencing self-doubt making it harder to approach new people and engage in conversations?
