Sebastiaan reads a comment from Nat, who participated in the 7 Day Social Confidence Challenge and describes how tapping techniques helped her feel more at ease. 

Nat expresses concern about returning to her previous social self and facing disappointing results, but she appreciates the concept of gradually strengthening oneself to deal with difficult situations. 

Sebastiaan emphasizes that overcoming Social Anxiety is an internal process that involves changing beliefs, processing emotions, and letting go of limiting patterns. 

Individuals who do the inner work will be able to build resilience and experience positive changes in their perception and external world.

In this episode...

Sebastiaan responds to a viewer's question about how to do EFT tapping in public.

He demonstrates "finger tapping", a less noticeable method of tapping on your fingers than tapping on the usual EFT tapping points.

However, using this technique to get rid of Social Anxiety in a social situation will not be as effective as traditional tapping.

Sebastiaan advised that finger tapping will work better if done simultaneously with the intention to accept and allow the anxiety to happen.

You can improve your tapping effectiveness by watching our guided tapping videos regularly.

In this episode...

Sebastiaan shares a comment made by a participant named Sam during the 7 Day Social Confidence Challenge.

Sam initially found it difficult to imagine himself naturally being socially at ease in any situation. However, he felt enlightened after doing a tap along exercise.

In that exercise, Seb spoke about our natural state as babies, and how our life's experiences programming triggers our Social Anxiety.

Sebastiaan highlights that Social Confidence is not an exaggerated state; rather, it is a normal and natural state of comfort. Each person already possesses Social Ease; it only needs to be unlocked.

In this episode… 

Sebastiaan introduces the "What If... So What?" technique. This is extremely helpful when dealing with negative thoughts and anxiety.

This technique involves questioning the significance of potential negative outcomes and approaching them with a "so what?" attitude.

This technique:
- reduces the intensity of Social Anxiety
- make you suffer less
- has anxiety leave faster when it gets triggered

This technique will not solve your Social Anxiety. However, it will help you achieve acceptance. And acceptance is one of the 3 keys to Social Ease.

He explains the importance of acceptance and being okay with whatever might happen. You can achieve a state of freedom and stop being controlled by previously feared situations by gradually accepting and letting go of your fears.

Sebastiaan also elaborated on how his mentors and the study of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) greatly influenced his teachings on acceptance.

In this episode...

Sebastiaan shares a comment made by a "7 Day Social Confidence Challenge" participant, named Jeffrey. 

During the challenge, participants were asked to tap along with a guided visualization to imagine themselves being socially at ease. 

Jeffrey was initially nervous about this exercise, but it helped him realize that he could change and that there was hope. He began to release the emotions associated with this thought while tapping, which led him to realize that he could change. 

Seb explains that tapping helps to loosen the validity of limiting beliefs and negative emotions, leading to a positive cycle of progress, results, and motivation.

In this episode…

Sebastiaan shares three tips for dealing with silence in a conversation.

He begins by telling a personal story from two decades ago about approaching a girl on the bus. He shares how he struggled with the awkward silence in this social situation. He describes how this made him cringe, self-conscious, and feel hugely pressured to fill in the silence.

He explains the 7 common reasons why we struggle with silence in a conversation:

1. Worrying
2. Fear of awkwardness
3. Pressure to fill in the silence
4. Self-consciousness
5. Misinterpreting
6. Fear of negative judgment
7. Insecurity of your social skills

He then teaches three quick fixes for dealing with and being at ease with silence.

While these tips can be helpful when you're already in a social situation, he highlighted that these are just surface-level tips.

He clarifies that it is our belief system that causes discomfort during silence, which can be effectively addressed through tapping.
