Do certain situations still trigger fear, shame, or panic even when you know you should be fine? You are not broken. Old trauma can keep social anxiety active for years.

In this episode I talk with Rehana Webster, EFT founding master and creator of the Trauma Buster Technique, about childhood trauma, severe trauma, and how one core incident can keep anxiety patterns going. We explore how tapping can help reduce the body's stress response, why getting to the root trauma matters, and what can change when the real issue is finally addressed.

What you'll discover: 🔹 Why unresolved trauma keeps getting triggered in social situations 🔹 How to find the core incident behind a fear pattern 🔹 How tapping can reduce the emotional intensity 🔹 Why working around the problem can keep you stuck 🔹 What becomes possible when the root issue is resolved

💡 Quote from Rehana: "The only pain you experience is thinking about what the trauma is."
