About this listen

  • Have you ever been in the middle of a conversation and immediately started replaying what you just said while the other person is still talking? Or spent days after a conversation analysing every word?

  • In this video, I cover:
  • - Why your brain replays conversations (both during and after them)
  • - The neurological mechanism behind this "double conversation" phenomenon
  • - Three core beliefs that maintain the rumination cycle
  • - The exact techniques I use with clients to stop processing during conversations (Exofocus)
  • - How to break the post-event rumination pattern with the schedule-and-delay approach
  • - Real client examples and results

  • I've been running Anxiety Specialists for 12 years and have helped thousands of people work through their anxiety. This processing - both during conversations and after them - is something nearly every person with social anxiety struggles with. Most of my clients see significant improvement within just 2-3 weeks of applying these principles.
