• This Changed How I Use Tapping 25.05.2026 59min

  What if the reason your anxiety keeps coming back isn't because you're thinking the "wrong thoughts"? In this episode, Sebastiaan sits down with psychologist Steve Wells to talk about Intention Tapping, a variation of EFT tapping that has deeply influenced how Seb helps people with social anxiety. They explore why social anxiety often can't be "out-thought," why emotional attachment matters more than thoughts alone, and how tapping may help reduce the nervous system's perception of threat. You'll hear why anxiety can become linked to everyday social situations, why resisting anxiety often makes it stronger, and how Intention Tapping can help release the emotional charge underneath social anxiety symptoms. In this conversation, they cover: • Why logic alone often doesn't stop social anxiety • The difference between CBT and tapping • Why anxiety is not just a thought problem • How emotional attachment keeps anxiety active • Why social anxiety is often a protective response • How tapping can help calm the nervous system • Why small shifts matter more than people think • How tapping can support gentle real-life progress • What to do when tapping "doesn't work" right away • How setbacks can become breakthroughs They also discuss fear of judgment, blushing, physical anxiety symptoms, performance anxiety, upcoming social events, public speaking, podcasting, salsa dancing, and why forcing yourself to face your fears is not always the most effective path. If you've tried changing your thoughts, affirmations, mindset work, or pushing yourself through social situations but still get triggered, this episode will give you a different way to understand social anxiety and what may help it shift.

In this episode I talk with Teun Melis about how to start conversations in a low-pressure way, how to keep socializing light and natural, and how real friendships usually grow.

• How to Feel Safe Being Vulnerable in Relationships 20.04.2026 35min

  Do you want deeper connection, but still hold back because getting hurt feels too risky? You are not alone. Social anxiety can make vulnerability feel unsafe, especially in relationships. In this episode I talk with Dr. David Lake, psychotherapist and relationship expert, about why vulnerability feels so difficult, why fear of being hurt blocks true intimacy, and why social anxiety often magnifies the "I'm not good enough" belief. We also explore when vulnerability is helpful, when it is not, and how authentic feedback can help you feel safer being yourself. What you'll discover: 🔹 Why fear of being hurt blocks true intimacy 🔹 Why the "I'm not good enough" belief runs so deep 🔹 How criticism and conditional love feed self-doubt 🔹 Why vulnerability only works in the right context 🔹 Why "good enough" is healthier than trying to be perfect 💡 Quote from David: "It requires a lot of courage to be authentic and be your true self with another person."   Start here: Free 7 Secrets to Social Confidence https://bit.ly/socialconfidencepodcast This short mini-course explains: • why social anxiety happens • why forcing exposure often backfires • how the fight-flight-freeze response creates anxiety symptoms • how tapping can help release the emotions and beliefs that trigger anxiety It's designed to help you understand what's actually driving social anxiety and give you a first experience with the tapping approach.
• Why Social Anxiety Still Feels Unsafe Even When You Know You're Safe 13.04.2026 8min

  Do you ever know a situation is safe, but your body still reacts like it is not? You are not imagining it. Social anxiety often goes deeper than logic. In this episode I talk with Gwyneth Moss about why social anxiety does not always respond to visualizations, thought work, or trying to push through it. We explore why your thinking mind and your deeper fear response can go in opposite directions, and how EFT can help the part of you that still feels unsafe begin to calm down. What you'll discover: 🔹 Why logic alone often does not resolve social anxiety 🔹 Why your body can still react even when you know you are safe 🔹 What Gwyneth means by your "inner animal" 🔹 How EFT helps calm the part of you that feels unsafe 🔹 Why trying it works better than arguing about it 💡 Quote from Gwyneth: "With social anxiety your animal brain is going, 'it's not safe, it's not safe,' and your thinking brain is trying to go, 'yes it is, it's ok,' but there is no trust and the two are going in opposite directions."   Start here: Free 7 Secrets to Social Confidence https://bit.ly/socialconfidencepodcast This short mini-course explains: • why social anxiety happens • why forcing exposure often backfires • how the fight-flight-freeze response creates anxiety symptoms • how tapping can help release the emotions and beliefs that trigger anxiety It's designed to help you understand what's actually driving social anxiety and give you a first experience with the tapping approach.
• How Childhood Trauma Can Fuel Social Anxiety 06.04.2026 1h

  Do certain situations still trigger fear, shame, or panic even when you know you should be fine? You are not broken. Old trauma can keep social anxiety active for years. In this episode I talk with Rehana Webster, EFT founding master and creator of the Trauma Buster Technique, about childhood trauma, severe trauma, and how one core incident can keep anxiety patterns going. We explore how tapping can help reduce the body's stress response, why getting to the root trauma matters, and what can change when the real issue is finally addressed.

• Your Teenage Identity Is Ruining Your Social Life 16.03.2026 11min

  Do you still feel insecure, awkward, or self-conscious in social situations, even though you're no longer that teenager?

• When Social Anxiety Starts to Shift — Real Member Stories 03.03.2026 7min

  In this episode, you'll hear a Club member, Tapani, describe: • Panic attacks fading • Baseline anxiety dropping from a nine to a three • Triggers losing their grip • Overthinking decreasing • Feeling more like themselves again These weren't dramatic breakthroughs. They were small shifts, repeated week after week. Social anxiety doesn't disappear overnight. It gradually loses intensity and stays gone longer. If you're wondering whether change like this is possible for you, this episode gives you a grounded picture of what that path actually looks like.

• Does Social Anxiety Change Last? A Real 4-Year Follow-Up 23.02.2026 34min

  Four years ago, I interviewed Tapani after he had already made significant progress with his social anxiety. His lifelong blushing had reduced dramatically. Life was opening up in ways that once felt impossible. Recently, he shared in our community that the last time he felt more than a little anxious was months ago. His anxiety barely bothers him anymore. And he described learning not just how to deal with social anxiety, but how to approach life differently. That made me curious. So we recorded this follow-up conversation to explore what actually holds up over time. What does long-term change from social anxiety really feel like? Not dramatic confidence. Not becoming a different personality. Not turning into the most charismatic person in the room. Instead: • Anxiety dropping from an 8 or 9 to mild physical tension • Blushing no longer dominating daily life • Social situations feeling ordinary again • Strangers no longer registering as threats • Relief that continues to deepen quietly If you've ever wondered: "Does this actually last?" "What if I improve… and then it fades?" "Is this realistic for someone like me?" This episode is for you. We talk about: • Fear of blushing and reputation anxiety • Anticipatory anxiety and how it changes • Why pushing anxiety away makes it worse • Acceptance and nervous system regulation • Why progress compounds gradually • What "feeling normal" really means This isn't a story about instant transformation. It's an honest look at how social anxiety can loosen its grip over time, and what life feels like when your system gradually updates instead of being forced. If you're considering whether this path might fit you, you'll find more details here. Take your time. Move when it feels right.

• Why CBT Didn't Work for Me — And What Finally Did 30.10.2025 16min

  Tried CBT, exposure therapy, affirmations — and still anxious? You're not alone. I spent years trying to "change my thoughts" and "face my fears," only to make minimal progress. In this episode... I share the full story of how I went from crippling social anxiety to calm confidence — without forcing myself into scary situations or endlessly challenging my thinking.
