After describing how social anxiety works and its relationship to perfectionism and rejection sensitivity dysphoria, Dr. Saline will demonstrate interventions and tools to:

  • Improve communication skills and connection while reducing discomfort and insecurity
  • Initiate and maintain friendships, manage rejection sensitivity dysphoria
