Social anxiety
Tasha Thor-Straten • 12 April 2021
I'm helping a lot of people feel more confident about getting back into social settings at work, with family & friends.
Not surprising, as the messages we're seeing & listening to are a bit confusing.
I've just heard a radio advert saying "you can meet people outside, BUT don't get too close".
It's like giving a child an ice cream & telling them not to lick it, isn't it?
Social anxiety can :-
- feel like not wanting to be around lots of people
- feel like not wanting to leave the house & see anyone
- feel like not wanting to make & take phone calls
- feel unsettling, as you're not sure if your friends are feeling the same as you
- feel scary, as you've never experienced this before
- feel numb, as you have disconnected with your emotions
- feel guilty, as you could be increasing the risk of COVID infection with your loved ones

How to find out what your team REALLY thinks and needs to improve their wellbeing from the inside out
NLP is an essential addition to focus on what's important when going through a cancer diagnosis.
As an NLP Master Practitioner focusing on health, I help people everyday to focus on their physical and mental wellbeing. This is especially useful when going through a cancer diagnosis or any life-changing illness.
As an NLP Master Practitioner Life Coach, my work with children and families is very rewarding. I help children of all ages build their self-esteem from the inside out, giving them life-skills to deal with challenges and obstacles.
I also help parents teach their children how to stick up for themselves, build their resilience, to have a voice and be able to use it safely.
Everyone learns more about themselves and what's important to them.
They learn positive ways to deal with strong feelings, anxiety, stress, fear and shame.
We maintain our homes, our cars, bikes and our pets so they are kept in good shape. When we maintain our 'selves', the benefits are life-changing and long-lasting. When we invest in ourselves, we find out who we really are.
We're talking more about men's mental health. Men have adopted many pressures over the decades. I explore how the generations have created the modern man and why some men are struggling with this new identity.
If your team are behaving like robots, they miss the opportunity to create intimate and engaging conversations. When they fail to make your customers feel-good, they go elsewhere and share their experience with others.
iPads and phones are awesome, but when they're used as a childhood pacifier for long periods of time without regulation, they can cause real problems. Learn different ways to engage with your children, so that your relationship develops beyond phone-faces and grunts.
