With our limited contact with other humans over the past 2 years due to this never ending pandemic, it has seriously stunting our social skills and ramping up our anxieties about re-entering the post-pandemic world. Today on the podcast we have a chat with Dr. Angela Neal-Barnette, or Dr. Angela, as she liked to be called, who is a national award-winning psychologist, professor at Kent State University, and the leading expert on anxiety disorders among Black Americans. With her, we get to the root of the issue, and she provides us with coping mechanisms and strategies to make the re-entering into the post-covid world less intimidating.  In This Episode We’ll Cover: How face coverings have affected social interaction Anxiety vs. Social Anxiety  Small Talk  Treatment Suggestions/Options Cognitive Behavior Therapy  & MORE!    3 Ways You Can Support This Podcast: Rate Review Support our sponsors using our unique ‘HOOKUP’ codes below   HOOKUP CODES:  Celebrate International Women's Month with outdoor sneakers designed just for you at Merrell.com Visit UOMAbeauty.com/FOODHEAVEN to get 20% off site wide!  For our resources and shownotes, visit foodheavenmadeeasy.com/podcast.   Produced by Dear Media
