Instant Genius Podcast: Social anxiety, with Dr Ellen Hendriksen

Instant Genius is a bite-sized masterclass in podcast form. And in this episode, we're tackling social anxiety.

Research suggests that – unless you’re a psychopath – you’ve experienced anxiety about a social situation at some point. But why? What is it that makes humans afraid of others?

And how can we manage these worries? To answer these questions and much more, we’re joined by psychologist Dr Ellen Hendriksen, a world-leading expert on social anxiety and author of How To Be Yourself: Quiet Your Inner Critic And Rise Above Social Anxiety.
