Because I can learn from you and and study up on what I don't know what I'm talking about. I certainly know the experience of social anxiety since I've had it to a crippling degree ever since I was a little boy. So what is the part where I don't know what I'm talking about?

Well, I'm glad Jacob's going to be there because he's a pretty darn good teacher. But I was actually teaching this class the last two years and got rave reviews. And so even though I don't know how to teach – I'm blessed because the people who come to the workshop seem to have such low standards. They think I'm really helpful to them.

And so I accept that and I'm really glad to have that opportunity.

Okay, why?

Okay, why?

Yeah, and the two strategies I was using there are one, the acceptance paradox. That's my best fall to deal. That's one of my strongest helpful things for me. And then the second is be specific because shame and self-criticism can only sting when it's on that abstract level. And when you come down to be specific, well, what's something specific that I don't know about social anxiety?

I mean, there's so many things I don't know about it. What are you referring to? Is it the genetics, the membrane transport and certain neurons in the brain? What really is the part that I don't know about? Because there's so many parts I don't know about. Yeah. And for me, those two things are kind of a path to enlightenment. And I think Jill Levitt feels the same way.

She says that be specific can actually be a kind of – philosophy of life, really. And I feel that. And those things have been helpful to me, too, because I've struggled, as you know, both know, with so many forms of severe, crippling social anxiety. And also, social anxiety is the thing, I think, on this show that we get by far the strongest response to.

It seems like there's so many people watching right now who have strong social anxiety. And if we're talking to you and I am talking to you, I'm just bullshitting right now, but this workshop is for you and really check it out. Take a chance because these are two days that can change your life in ways that will be

So richly rewarding on so many levels to help you start connecting with people in a more loving and, as Jacob's been saying, a really fun way to transform your view and experience of other people from... dangerous dungeon to joyous playground with loving, open-hearted people. It's one of the greatest experiences a person can have to make that transformation.

And I can't imagine two more beautiful teachers than Jacob and Michael, and a third, Rhonda, who also brings so much
