"The Secret, 2-Phase 'Root Source' Method I Used To Overcome Social Anxiety (And How You Can Do It, Too)
Hey, it's Sam and if you avoid talking to your co-workers...

Or if you always ask yourself "what would this person want me to do"...

Or if you assume that everyone in the room knows more than you... are better at their job than you... are better educated than you...

Or if social anxiety forces you to say no when asked to do something... which has left you missing out on opportunities, like promotions... and causes people to underestimate you...

Then please pay very close attention to what I'm about to share with you in this guide, on this very page.

And be on the lookout for how the information you're going to discover applies to your situation, specifically.

Because, if you do, then today, by the end of this guide, you're going to know what the real, root source of social anxiety is... the secret, 2 phase method that I personally used to treat it and overcome social anxiety disorder (diagnosed by my doctor, Shannon)... plus, how the first phase of this method decreases social anxiety almost overnight.

Which means you'll feel more calm, comfortable, confident in almost any social situation and interaction, pretty much immediately.

Plus, your mental and physical anxiety goes way down, meaning less worrying, planning, rehearsing, sweating, nervousness, tightness in your chest, shaking, and all the other crap that comes with social anxiety.

Oh and yes, this is the real deal.

If it wasn't, I'd be in a lot of legal trouble by now.

But the reality is, this method really does work.

Obviously, the success rate isn't 100%. Because some people are really, well... lazy. They'd rather have social anxiety chain them down for the rest of their life. Or they hope that it goes away on its own (as you'll soon know, the chances of that are very slim).

But this isn't for them.

This is for the people who are willing to put in some time and effort in order to stop social anxiety, and get their life back.

If that's you, then please, read on.

Maybe you'll also come to realize the same thing I did after seeing all the life-changing results that past social anxiety sufferers got.

And that realization, is this:

This 2-phase method really is...
The first ever predictable method for treating the real, root source of social anxiety
What is the root source of social anxiety?

Is it truly the root source of your social anxiety, specifically?

And how did I even uncover it, anyway?

To answer those questions, we'll have to...
Start this guide from the beginning -- before social anxiety started taking hold...
^ That's Me! :)
Sam Schaeffer
Up until I was 12, I used to be the popular kid in class.

I played football and had a lot of friends.

I'd walk up to anyone and talk to them like I'd known them forever.

But because of the real, root source of social anxiety, that all changed. Fast.
It started when I went camping with my friend, 2 months before school started up again. His brother kept making fun of me, calling me a Nazi (I was born in Germany). It got so bad that I got my Mom to pick me up (I told her I wanted to leave because my lips were chapped haha).

Fast forward 2 months later, on my first day of school.

I skipped soccer (football) tryouts because I was scared I wasn't going to run the mile fast enough (which is crazy because I was really in shape).

I went to get my haircut and the lady had this disgusted look on her face the whole time she was cutting my hair. At the end, she told me I needed anti-dandruff shampoo.... just loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. It was really damn humiliating.

So I stopped getting haircuts and ended up with a mullet down to my shoulders (no exaggeration). When you add in the fact that I stopped showering (out of laziness), you can see why everyone at school picked on me.

One time someone told me I smell like poop.

I took it literally.

So before I went to school, I'd ask my Mom to sniff my butt.

By the time I was 16, the only way I could do anything social without my parents with me, was if I was drunk or high.

It got so bad that I couldn't even go shopping because I thought everyone was staring at me, judging my every move... even the way I walked.

I couldn't answer the phone when anyone called -- let alone a stranger. I'd have to spend hours psyching myself up in order to make myself call them back.

When I was 18, I finally got the courage to tell my Mom how I felt.

Not because I wanted help.

At the time, I didn't even know I had social anxiety.

I just wanted to know if what I was feeling was "normal"... if everyone felt how I did, and I just had to suck it up and stop being a baby.

I told her that, when I went to a restaurant with her and my Dad and my brother, I would avoid getting spaghetti because I thought I would "eat it wrong"... and that I couldn't go to a restaurant without them because I was terrified people would make fun of me for "ordering weird" or not knowing how to pay.

I told her that, when I would talk to people, I felt so self-conscious about my voice and how I stood and what to do with my arms that I couldn't pay attention to the conversation so I would never know what to say... and if I did say something, I'd be paranoid about if it was stupid or made sense and imagine myself in the other person's shoes, wondering what I would think about them if they said that to me.

I told her that being in a group was so damn overwhelming and exhausting because I felt like everyone was talking about me or staring at me and whenever somebody would laugh, I'd automatically assume they were laughing at me.

I went on and on and on.

When I was done, she said...
"Let's go to the doctor"
We went. 

I was nervous. 

I was sweating. 

My face was red. 

My heart was beating out of my chest.

Thankfully, my Mom wouldn't let me leave.

I somehow managed to open up to my doctor, and she told me something that was like music to my ears:
"Sounds like you have social anxiety"... Thank god!
I finally knew that I had an actual problem. 

That meant she could fix it, right?!

Wrong.
She put me on a prescription: Zoloft
First I got put on 10mg.

Then 20.

Then 50.

Then 100.

At 150, I started having suicidal thoughts because Zoloft (like most social anxiety medication) is an SSRI, which, at the "effective dosage", tends to make you emotionless.

One night was particularly bad.

I came home from a party (drunk, obviously) and my Dad started yelling at me and whipping me with his belt... so I booked it upstairs to take the whole bottle of Zoloft. Thankfully, my Dad stopped me.

The morning after, my Mom took (forced) me to go to my doctor again.

My doctor started "weaning" me off Zoloft (which really, really, really sucked... I got the dreaded "brain zaps"... which feels like a lightning bolt going through your head... and I felt like I was swaying back and forth the whole time).
She also referred me to a therapist named Andy
Andy told me that prescriptions don't usually help people with social anxiety because it's rarely caused by a chemical imbalance (which is what prescriptions fix).

If it does help, it's only with a bit of the physical symptoms, because some people who have social anxiety, also have a mild form of some other type of anxiety, like generalized anxiety.

He went on to tell me something that didn't really make sense to me:

He said that the cause of social anxiety was that, back in the "caveman" days, being rejected from a group meant you were going to die from a saber-tooth tiger.

So apparently we inherited this "fear of rejection" from our ancestors?

Like I said, it didn't make much sense, but then again, he was a therapist.

He had a degree in psychology.

He had to be right... right?

So I did what he said:
“Think positive. Meditate. Breathe.”

You know, all the useless crap you can get by doing a Google search on “how to stop social anxiety”. 
Needless to say, it didn’t do me much good. 

I wish it did, though.

Because I could’ve avoided a whole bunch of pain when I went off to University at Buffalo. 

It had 30,000 enrolled students... and a campus bigger than my entire home town.

And I was there all alone... 3 hours away from my home... with a roommate I'd never met.

First time I met him, it was around 3pm and I was still lying in bed hungover from the night before.

(I bet the hangover was so bad because I had no food in my stomach. Just ran out of the granola bars I packed with me on the way to college and I couldn't go to the University cafeteria. Too many people. I knew they would stare at me. I knew they would see that I had no idea what I was doing. After all, I'd never paid for my own food. Every time I went to a restaurant, my family would be with me, and they would pay. Eventually, out of fear of starvation, I got the courage to call for delivery.)

From then on out, whenever he was in our room, I had headphones on because I couldn't talk to him.

Class sizes were 200-300 people. To cope, every time I went to class, I was either hungover or drunk or high. Or all of the above.

Mainly because, if I did something dumb... or wasn't talking or whatever... I could use being intoxicated as an excuse. Took a lot of the pressure off.

This continued for a while until somewhere between my Junior and Senior year.

One day, I woke up so damn hungover from the night before that I couldn’t make it to the exam.

An exam that was worth 50% of my grade.

Which meant I failed the class.
That was my wake up call.
I thought about all the people I’m letting down. 

I thought about all the opportunities I missed.

I thought about my future.

I realized that social anxiety was literally ruining my life.

And it had to stop.

I remembered how my therapist said social anxiety comes from the fact that cavemen had to have a group in order to be safe from saber tooth tigers.

It still didn’t make sense to me.
Then it hit me:
If being alone meant that a saber tooth tiger was going to eat you...

That would mean pain, right?

And this expectation of pain is what caused cavemen to develop social anxiety.

But the saber tooth tiger doesn’t exist anymore...

And there's no way that I was expecting to get physically hurt or die from being judged, made fun of, laughed at, etc. etc.

"Wait a second..." I thought, "Physically hurt... what if there's another form of pain that's not physical?"

I did some research and found out that
emotional and physical pain are processed in the same part of the brain and -- boom! -- the root source of social anxiety became crystal clear... and so did the 2 catalysts that "set off" this root source
You see, from my studies at University at Buffalo, I already knew that, through repetition, your subconscious mind -- which stores all your past experiences and knowledge -- can associate an outcome (like pain) to an environment or an action in that environment.

I also knew that this association can not only happen from direct experience (the outcome personally happening to you), it can also come from indirect experience (learning by observation, or as psychologists call it, "vicarious learning").

This means that there are 2 things that "trigger" the root source of social anxiety -- that cause it to start taking hold (also known as a catalyst).

Let me explain the first:

Have you ever been picked on? Laughed at? Yelled at? Criticized? Judged?

If so, then you have experienced emotional pain.

This happened enough times to cause your subconscious mind to create an association:

Being in, doing or saying something in 1 or more types of social situations will result in emotional pain (which is just as bad as physical pain because it's processed in the same part of the brain).

It does not matter whether this is logical or not because your subconscious mind is irrational.

It has simply decided this being in, saying or doing something in this type of social situation is a threat and it does not want you to get hurt.

The result?

Whenever you're faced with a social situation/interaction/whatever you wanna call it...

And your subconscious expects it to end in emotional pain...

It goes into protection mode and -- wabam! -- you get mental anxiety (worrying, “what ifs”, etc) or physical anxiety (nervousness, sweating, shaking, rapid heartbeat, getting "red in the face", etc.) or both.

The amount of anxiety you have in this situation depends on how much emotional pain your subconscious mind expects (which explains why people can be fine in one social situation, like with family, for example, but not when talking to friends or new people).

And the reason you might linger over a weird thing you did or said a few days ago, is because you're subconsciously trying to figure out how to make sure it doesn't happen again. This way, you can avoid emotional pain in the future.

But this still leaves some questions unanswered:

#1 Why are the amount of people with social anxiety increasing at a rapid rate? (Hint: It has to do with the 2nd catalyst for the root source of social anxiety.)

#2 Why does social anxiety get worse over time, even if you don't leave the house for weeks or months?

Let me answer those questions in order:

SA is infecting more and more people because..
Today's Society Is The Perfect Breeding Ground For Social Anxiety!
Let me explain:

Our society as a whole has drastically changed over the past 20 years.

We have social media, where anyone can make fun of people and say downright horrible things and judge and ridicule... while being completely anonymous! Not only that, but people only post good stuff because they don't want anyone to think less of them, which makes us feel like we're doing horrible compared to everyone else.

We are bombarded with more advertisements than ever before (fact: the average person sees 3,000 ads a day), each of which are trying to penetrate our wallets by claiming that there's something wrong with us... that we won't "fit in" unless we dress a certain way... people "won't like us" unless we have this fancy new phone... and a whole ton more crap like that.

We have the news, where 9 out of every 10 stories are about some horrible event, even though there is more good than bad happening in the world.

And, through this indirect experience... which is repeated over and over and over again... and is attaching emotional pain to being yourself... to being silent... to liking different things... to talking to new people... pain, pain, pain...

We are left with a society that the perfect breeding ground for social anxiety. The amount of people who have social anxiety is increasing at an alarming rate. Today, it's in the tens of millions. 

Make no mistake, this is an epidemic.

And I'm on a mission to stop this epidemic, by giving the solution to social anxiety to everyone who needs it.

I'm going to share this solution with you right after I answer the last question that was brought up earlier:
Why social anxiety does NOT go away on its own... and actually gets worse and worse and worse, until it takes over every single aspect of your life, like it did to me...
Put simply, there are 3 unconscious habits that the root source of social anxiety "feeds" off of, making it stronger.

I call them, the 3 Social Anxiety Feeders (or SA Feeders, for short).

In other words, they make social anxiety worse over time -- not better -- because they re-enforce your subconscious mind's expectation of emotional pain.

The reason I am telling you this is because, when I give you the solution to SA, I want to make sure you know how important it is to get started right away.

I can't tell you how many people wait too long to get help with social anxiety.. only to finally hit their breaking point... when they realize that social anxiety has taken over their life, and it has to stop... at which point, they usually don't even have the motivation to leave their bed. (Yes, severe social anxiety disorder can lead to depression.)

And if you're in that position right now, don't worry.

What you're about to discover can and will help you get your life back, if you let it. And it might happen faster and easier than you think.

Before we get to that, let me explain the 3 SA Feeders:

SA Feeder #1: Reliance on friends, family, alcohol, weed, or anything else that is outside of you (a person or thing) to make you feel safe.

For me, it was a friend named Jay (my SA pretty much disappeared when I was with him), plus a lot of weed and alcohol.

SA Feeder #2: Avoiding a social situation/interaction/whatever you wanna call it.

(Avoiding it simply because you don't like it is okay. But when it's FEAR-based, that's when it becomes food for the root source of social anxiety.)

SA Feeder #3: Staying comfortable, which is similar to avoidance, except you don't actively refuse to do something you would otherwise do if you didn't have social anxiety. Instead, your "default" is to not do anything new or outside your comfort zone (socially speaking). This commonly pops up as "I just want to stay in my little bubble at home".

By the way, the solution you're about to discover is NOT "do what you're afraid of" because...

That's "exposure therapy" and not only does it require a tremendous amount of self-discipline, will-power and hard work...

It also is very risky because if you have an emotionally painful experience (judgement, criticism, etc.) and you do not know how to consciously control the association, it can back-fire completely, making you worse off than if you just let those 3 unconscious habits slowly increase your social anxiety.

Which means you have to be really, really, really lucky in order to actually improve.

At best, your "exposure" can counter-act the 3 unconscious habits, which stops making SA worse... but... you'll then be left with "functional" social anxiety. Sort of like a functional alcoholic who can go to work and do what life needs him to do, but is always drunk. Except, instead of being drunk, you have anxiety.

Not fun.

So, if the solution isn't to stop the 3 SA Feeders, what is it, then?

It's to treat the underlying cause -- the root source that spawned all of this mess.

Good news is, since we already know that the real, root source of social anxiety is your subconscious mind associating emotional pain as a result of being in, doing or saying something in 1 or more types of social situations/interactions/settings...
The solution becomes both simple, and universal – it works for everyone:
All you need to do is change this subconscious association of emotional pain to neutral (no pain) or pleasure.

Once you do this, you're free from social anxiety.

Which brings up the question...
How exactly do you do it?
Well, I guess you could, theoretically, "undo" the emotional pain you experienced in your past... or... put yourself in the situations where you have social anxiety over and over and over again... making 100% sure that you have a neutral or, ideally, positive experience each time...

But I'm pretty sure the first one is impossible to accomplish, and the second is just 100% out of your control (because you can't decide whether you experience emotional pain or not... not to mention you run the risk of making SA worse via the 3 SA Feeders we talked about earlier).

So what do you do then?

Finding the answer to that question took me literally hundreds of hours of studying... paying more than $3,000 on books and courses and programs (the most helpful of which had nothing to do with social anxiety or even psychology)...

After all that and a ton of trial and error, I managed to create what I believe to be the first ever predictable method for treating the root source of social anxiety.

It starts with...
The Core Component Of The Root Source:
Expectation
Expectation, by definition, is "the degree of probability that something will occur".

Which means that, right now, to your subconscious mind, the probability of experiencing emotional pain is higher than the probability of experiencing neutral or pleasure.

In other words, it EXPECTS a social situation/interaction to end in emotional pain.

These expectations then bubble up to your conscious awareness with thoughts like this:

"If I am at work, then everyone thinks I'm bad at my job."

"If my boss/manager asks me to do something new and I say yes, then he/she will think I'm stupid when I screw up."

"If I leave a group, then they will talk about me behind my back."

As you can see, subconscious expectation follows a specific formula, which is...

"If [being, talking, doing something in this type of social situation/interaction/setting], then [emotional pain]."

Which means, to alter the subconscious expectation, we have to change that result of emotional pain to neutral or pleasure.

So "If I my boss/manager asks me to do something new and I say yes, then he/she will think I'm stupid when I screw up" turns into "If I my boss/manager asks me to do something new and I say yes, then he/she will be happy when I do it".

In that example, the expectation of emotional pain is now replaced with pleasure.

Aka no more reason to be worried, afraid, nervous, anxious, and so on.

And there's actually a reason to be excited for it, since it'll make someone else happy.

So...
How do we achieve this shift in subconscious expectation?
Simple:

By increasing the probably of experiencing pleasure or no emotional pain...

While decreasing the odds of experiencing emotional pain...

Until our subconscious adopts the expectation of "no pain/pleasure", because it has a higher probability of happening than emotional pain.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to accomplish this simply by telling yourself what to expect over and over and over again.

And stuff like this doesn't work either...
  • Decatastrophizing. For example, asking yourself, "What's the worst that can happen?" (In fact, I highly recommend that you NEVER ask or answer this question.)
  • The Socratic Method. For example, asking yourself, "Is this thought is realistic? What evidence is there for this thought? Is it happening out of habit or do facts support it?"
  • Positive Thinking.
  • Cognitive Restructuring (which may or may not include decatastrophizing/socratic questioning, depending on the therapist).
  • All of the rubbish you commonly hear from people on YouTube who have never had SA, including "Nobody's perfect" "Put it into perspective. There's 7.4 billion people in the world." "Who cares what people think?"
No.

You need something that will penetrate into your subconscious.

In comes...
The Subconscious Expectation Protocol (SEP)
This protocol is designed specifically for shifting your subconscious mind's expectation of being in, doing or saying something in a social situation, from pain, to neutral (no pain) or pleasure.

It is based off The Socratic Method except you're not using it the way CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) does.

Because the "CBT way" uses a "one-size-fits-all" approach for each and every situation -- even though they are all vastly different.

This is why therapists who "go by the book" (literally) have trouble treating patients with social anxiety. Unfortunately, most therapists do just that. They're uncomfortable going outside of their comfort zone. Or they just don't know what else to do.

Not only that, but The Socratic Method does not account for the alternative outcome. As in, the alternative to emotional pain. Its goal is simply to label the entire subconscious expectation as irrational. However, as you probably know, you can consciously realize that your fears are irrational and yet, still be afraid.

Why?

Because, on a subconscious level, it's still REAL to you.

This is what happens when you apply The Socratic Method incorrectly (like the "CBT" way)... or... your mind has nothing to replace the emotional pain outcome with, so it is hard to grasp that your current expectation is wrong. 

After all, if it is, indeed, wrong... then what is right?

As you can see, the way CBT applies The Socratic Method has some pretty big flaws.

The Subconscious Expectation Protocol (SEP), on the other hand, does not.

Because...
The SEP adapts to each individual expectation -- accounting for both the type of social situation/interaction, as well as the specific category of emotional pain... and... the ideal alternative outcome (neutral or pleasure)
In other words, it deconstructs and rebuilds each subconscious expectation, one-by-one.

Until, ultimately, all of your subconscious expectations of emotional pain from being in, doing or saying something in a social situation/interaction/setting...

Are altered to neutral, or pleasure.

At which point, you'll find that the SEP decreased your social anxiety, which means...
  • You feel more comfortable being yourself and more confident in who you are -- in almost any social situation or interaction.
  • Your mind is more clear and your body is more calm and relaxed, so you're much better in social interactions because your mental anxiety (like worrying, "what-ifing", rehearsing conversations in your head) plus physical anxiety (like sweating, shaking, blushing, rapid heartbeat and so on) has gone way down.
  • You see yourself, the world, and the people around you in a whole new light.
  • You have a stronger self-image and a big boost in your self-esteem, so you feel better about yourself and it shows in the way you walk, talk, and present yourself. People are more interested in you as a person and, if you want, you can have more friends because confidence in yourself attracts people to you.
  • And many more of the life-changing benefits of reducing your social anxiety with the Subconscious Expectation Protocol
The downside is, this protocol pretty hard to pull off because it's difficult to wrap your head around until you've experienced it in action for yourself.

That's why I recommend...
You let someone who had social anxiety do it for you
Let me explain:

If someone had social anxiety either equal to or worse than yours, then they had the same expectations of emotional pain, in the same type of social situations/interactions/settings that you do.

If they know The Subconscious Expectation Protocol, then they can overcome some or most of your social anxiety, for you.

To better understand this, take a look at the picture below.

What do you see?
Depending on your perspective, you see either a young lady, or an old woman.

If you see an old woman, you can see the young lady by imagining that the mouth of the old woman, is the young woman's neck.

If you see a young lady, you can imagine that her neck is actually an old woman's mouth, and her jawline is actually a nostril.

Now, if I hadn't told you that, it would've been really difficult (if not impossible) to find both the old woman and young woman in that picture (unless you've seen that picture before, of course).

But because I started with your perspective (either old woman or young lady), and showed you how to perceive it differently...

You're able to see the other perspective much faster and easier than if you did it on your own.

This is similar to how "Done For You SEP" works:

You need someone who knows what emotional pain is expected from types of social situations/interactions/settings, and can then guide this expectation to neutral or pleasure.

This is why Thomas A. Richards, Ph.D and the President of the Social Anxiety Association, says this about social anxiety:

"Often, we are led to the conclusion that effective therapy -- whether from a psychologist or from a non-licensed person -- comes only from people who have experienced this disorder themselves."

The only thing I would add to that, is you need someone who has had social anxiety worse than, or equal to, your social anxiety, that knows the Subconscious Expectation Protocol.

And if you got this far, that means you've had the chance to hear my story.

So, my question to you, is this:
Was my social anxiety worse or the same as yours is, right now?

If so, I can do the SEP for you, and get rid of some or most of your social anxiety, as soon as today
It used to be that I had to do this via coaching BUT...

After doing this for about a year now and talking to over 300 people while they had social anxiety, I realized that not only was the $500 coaching fee too expensive for most people...

I was also restricted to helping a limited amount of people because, well, I'm only one person. There's only 24 hours in a day. So I just didn't have enough time to help everyone who needed it.

But I thought there had to be a way for me to help more people.

And the solution I came to was so obvious it's almost funny:

Since there's only a finite amount of social situations and emotional pain, and I already know how to use the Subconscious Expectation Protocol to shift this expectation of emotional pain to neutral or pleasure...

Why don't I just record it all so anyone with SA can feel all the benefits of SEP without doing anything but listening to my voice?

So that's what I did.

And the results have been nothing less than amazing.

For example...

It helped Jonathan significantly and decreased his social anxiety:*
Connor Email About Overcoming The First 40%
It made Connor feel much more confident after watching just half:*
Jonathan Email About Overcoming The First 40%
It was the turning point that Andrew needed after 10 long years of trying CBT and prescription meds:*
Andrew Email About Overcoming The First 40%
And it was so good that Diane told me that I have a "gift":*
Diane Email About Overcoming The First 40%
Plus Heidi called me a "genius":*
Heidi Email About Overcoming The First 40%
*These are unedited emails from real people. However, results do vary based on factors like if you actually watch/listen to it, if you pay attention to what I'm saying, etc. etc. This means you might get equal, worse, or better results.
Now, as much as I appreciate their kind words, I want you to know that I don't think I have a gift. And I'm definitely not a genius.

The only reason so many people are getting results like this is because, to my knowledge, there is nobody else in the world who is sharing anything like this.

And the coolest part is, while you're watching (or listening) to this recording...
You can literally feel it working
Because every time your subconscious expectation of being in, doing or saying something in a type of social situation/interaction/setting shifts to neutral or pleasure...

You get what's commonly referred to as an epiphany -- an "aha!" moment.

I'm not sure exactly how to describe this feeling, other than that it feels really damn good.
So, if you're interested in this "Done For You SEP", then I have a question for you:
Are you ready to start your journey to freedom from social anxiety?
Are you ready to stop constantly worrying... feeling like everyone's staring at you, judging your every move... stop rehearsing conversations in your head... and then agonizing over every single detail once it's out there... stop feeling like you're weird or awkward or boring or don't belong?

Are you ready to start taking control of your life... so you can finally be you -- the REAL you -- no matter where you are, or who you're with?

If so, then I'm really excited for you.

Because, whether you realize it or not...
Today can the day you start getting your life back.

Today can the day your life finally turns around.

No more missing out on opportunities, friendships, relationships, love, happiness, success...

No more falling victim to social anxiety.

Please, do not allow this crippling illness to hold you back from living your life any longer!

Today, it's your time.

Your time to stand up and break free from the shackles of social anxiety, so you can let the real you shine through.

And your time is today -- right now.

If you let me, I would like to be your guide.

I'd like to help you overcome social anxiety as easily and quickly as possible.

Our journey to freedom begins with...
The Schaeffer Method (TSM) Phase 1
I Overcome Some Or Most Of Your Social Anxiety Almost Overnight Using The Power Of The Revolutionary Done For You SE Protocol
TSM Phase 1 has 15 modules, each covering a specific "SE Type", including being and talking at work... talking to anyone... fear of looking nervous (blushing, sweating, etc.)... and so on.

This is where I want you to begin because you will feel results fast (like, today), plus it's pretty much effortless (all you need to do is listen). At the same time, it builds the necessary momentum and belief that you really can overcome social anxiety completely.

You'll also discover...
  • What your boss or manager is REALLY saying when he/she asks you do something new (there's only one thing that matters... and it's not whether you fail or not. Once you hear this, you might just find that you're actually excited to take advantage of new opportunities now).
  • The 1 thing your boss, manager, and co-workers expect from you (everyone with social anxiety passes this with flying colors... at least, once you know what it is).
  • What to say when someone asks "Why are you so quiet?" (this will make them go "Ohhh! Awesome!).
  • The universal way to start a conversation.
  • The 3 ways to keep a conversation going (and how to do this without even thinking about it).
  • Why only people with social anxiety believe the "silent myth" and what everyone else thinks when someone is silent. (It's not what you think.)
  • How to unleash your inner social skills that were given to you straight from social anxiety itself. (You'll have this even after you overcome social anxiety.)
  • Why you shouldn't worry about saying something weird or awkward or rude (you can just say this and then they will respect and like you even more than if you didn't say anything at all!)
  • What people are REALLY talking about when you leave a group.
  • The undeniable proof that people are not staring at you (or even thinking about you) when you have to get up in a meeting.
  • How to leave a meeting without getting "out of control anxiety".
  • The simple "POV" switch that instantly makes you feel excited, for any situation.
  • What it takes for people to not like you (hint: "spaghetti").
  • Why it's not your responsibility to "fill the silence"... and what it means when the other person isn't talking much (this will probably be a HUGE eye-opener for you).
  • What the person you're talking to is thinking about when there's silence.
  • The 4 common mistakes people make when trying to stop worrying (#1 is probably something you've been told helps, but it actually does the opposite)... plus... the simple solution.
  • Why social anxiety gave you an unfair advantage in life.
  • How to tell if people actually want you around (and how to make sure they do... without changing anything).
  • What it means when someone breaks plans (if you usually get angry or feel like they don't like you, you need to hear this).
  • How to act when you're with 2 people who've never met each other before.
  • How to say what's on your mind... and the ONLY time you shouldn't say what's on your mind (don't worry, it's automatic).
  • How to politely say "no" when someone invites you to do something, without lying. (This way, you won't feel bad AND they'll still like you!)
  • How to screw up or make a mistake and have people actually respect and like you more than if you didn't (no, this has nothing to do with lying).
  • And much, much more...
Plus, once you're finished with TSM Phase 1...
You'll feel a decrease in social anxiety that can only be compared to what the lucky few get from months or even years of what mainstream psychology calls "the most effective therapy for social anxiety"...
And you'll feel this decrease by watching TSM Phase 1 just once.

That's why...
TSM Phase 1 could EASILY be priced at $1,200
Don't believe me?

Consider this:

A single hour-long session with a therapist costs anywhere from $100 to $200...

Let's say you have this session once a week (the usual time frame). With that, you'd need at least 3 months (aka 12 sessions) to feel the same results that you are GUARANTEED to get from TSM Phase 1, in as soon as a day.

Multiply the minimum $100 session by 12 and you get $1,200.

$200 a session by 12 is $2,400.

And that's with a really cheap therapist.

Therapists do NOT guarantee results, by the way.

So you could end up with zero improvement.

And $2,400 went down the drain.

Thankfully, even if TSM Phase 1 was $2,400...

You would feel comfort in knowing that you don't risk a single penny.

Because I guarantee results.

However...
I'm Not Going To Make You Pay Thousands Of Dollars
Because, well, even though it's worth that much, I just don't think that's fair.

At the same time, this does need a price on it because people only value things they pay for -- in either time, money, or energy.

Plus, I think I deserve a little bit of compensation for creating all this for you.

And if you think that's selfish, consider this:

I could be making a lot more money selling this for thousands of dollars.

And I don't have to guarantee your results.

But I am.

Because I truly do care about you.

And I do not want or deserve any reward unless this gets you the results you want, deserve and expect.

More on that in a second.

First, let me tell you the number I decided on:
A One Time Investment Of Just $69
Notice I say investment.

Not payment.

Because this is an investment in yourself and your future.

It will pay you back a hundred times over, for the rest of your life.

In happiness, comfort, relationships, and even cold-hard cash (networking, interviews, etc.).

And unlike most other investments, this one is...
100% Risk-Free
Because you have an entire 90 days to watch (or listen to) TSM Phase 1... which is wayyy more than enough time to finish it, by the way (well, unless you're the busiest person on the planet and never have any free time)...

And, once you're finished, you must feel a significant decrease in your social anxiety...

You must feel more confident and comfortable being yourself, in every situation -- including when you're at work or talking to a co-worker or attending meetings and so on....

It must meet your every expectation...

Because if it does not, then I want you to email me (sam@iovercameanxiety.com) so I can give you a full, prompt refund. No hard feelings. And you can even keep TSM Phase 1 free.

As you can probably tell, this takes any and all possible risk away from you, and puts it on me. You either get the results you want and deserve, or your money back.

Which means, right now, you can start your journey to freedom from social anxiety, 100% risk-free.

So if you're ready to get started... if you're ready to let me reduce your social anxiety in just moments from now...

"I read your website and i got really excited, and then booom, you asked for money. I rolled my eyes and thought "oh god! here we go. Money money money!" but i thought i'd give it a go because it is something ive suffered with for ages and I am fed up to fuck with it!!. You have helped me.Your method does work and so what if you earn a bit of money from it! Your program is helpful and I have changed for the better because of it. Thank you Sam"* -Marie M.
" I'm not gonna lie when I got the first couple of emails from you I thought it was an automated message of some sort... but it was nice to realize that there was an actual human being emailing me back (promptly I might add) who seamed eager to help. Your website was a bit of a red flag for me. had I not been completely desperate, and if it had not been so heavily discounted I might not have decided to try it. I'm glad that I did though because your video has helped tremendously. Thank you so much!"* -Samantha V.
