This podcast is all about something I call the “Anxiety Detox.” It’s inspired by the body detox many people use to flush toxins and other contaminants from their systems, but this one is purely for your mind and designed to help stop your anxiety attacks and panic attacks.
Some of what I cover in the podcast:
I hope you enjoy the podcast, and I’d love to hear what you think on the comments box below!
I’ve also created two other versions of “The Anxiety Detox” for you, to give you as many choices as possible about how you go through the exercise. Here’s where to go for the video and book versions:

If you have any trouble with the video loading, try pausing it for a few minutes and coming back. That normally does the trick. But if all else fails, here’s a link to just the audio, which will work better on slower connections. Give the video a shot though - it’s much easier to digest than audio alone!
I’ve also transcibed the basic ideas of “The Anxiety Detox” into a digital book, so if you’d rather read it than watch it, here you go!

If your social anxiety disorder is severe, or if you’re experiencing a short-term spell of unusually intense symptoms, your doctor may prescribe one of the many social anxiety disorder medications.
These will usually be one of two types of drugs - sedatives (almost always one from the Benzodiazepine family of drugs), and anti-depressants (most doctors will prescribe one of the many SSRI drugs).
The most common SSRIs prescribed for the treatment of social anxiety disorder or social phobia are:

These drugs may or may not work for you. The latest statistics suggest that about 1 third of people with anxiety disorders are helped by taking anti-anxiety drugs.

If you’ve tried some of the medications mentioned above and they didn’t help you, or if you’d rather not go down the medication road, give my free newsletter and anti-anxiety video tips a try. They’ve worked wonders for people all around the world.
