The uncomfortable physical symptoms are very real, and Victor and Camille are starting to believe there&#8217;s something wrong with them. But don&#8217;t fear your fear, the Protector is here! Sort of.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Included:<\/strong> 4 videos, learning summary, journal<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t<h4>Module 2: Transforming Anxious Feelings<\/h4><p>Pounding hearts, feverish sweating, tense muscles, upset stomachs&#8230; these are the uncomfortable ways social anxiety shows up in our bodies. The Protector travels through space and time to explain the science behind those feelings, how to decode the messages social anxiety sends, and some proven tools for transforming those feelings into excitement, focus, and motivation.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Included:<\/strong> 4 videos, learning summary, journal<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gozen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/GM_GoSocial_EP06-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Am I a Jellyfish?\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1152\" width=\"2048\" title=\"Am I a Jellyfish?\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gozen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/GM_GoSocial_EP09-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Caught in a Storm\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1152\" width=\"2048\" title=\"Caught in a Storm\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t<h4>Module 3: Talking to Anxious Thoughts<\/h4><p>At the root of social anxiety are our anxious thoughts. Victor and Camille are frustrated with the negative voices in their heads spouting endless streams of catastrophic &#8220;what if&#8221; thoughts. Fortunately, the Protector has tools to help with that, too, and we learn that those anxious thoughts are actually on our side.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Included:<\/strong> 4 videos, learning summary, journal<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t<h4>Module 4: Growing Confidence<\/h4><p>Victor and Camille have learned so many tools for coping with their challenging feelings and negative thoughts, but they&#8217;re still missing one key ingredient to overcoming their social anxiety: confidence. Turns out all the tools in every dimension in the universe won&#8217;t help if you don&#8217;t believe in yourself. In this module, the Protector gets help from a close friend who teaches confidence and self-worth.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Included:<\/strong> 3 videos, learning summary, journal<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gozen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/GM_GoSocial_EP07-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Rollercoaster Revelations\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1152\" width=\"2048\" title=\"Rollercoaster Revelations\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gozen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GM_GoSocial_EP11-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Mind Olympics\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1152\" width=\"2048\" title=\"Mind Olympics\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t<h4>Module 5: Social Superpowers<\/h4><p>Victor and Camille have been on the adventure of a lifetime, and it&#8217;s time for them to put everything they&#8217;ve learned into practice.

It&#8217;s a deep fear of certain social situations that causes kids, teens, and many adults to lose confidence, experience intense physical symptoms, and wonder over and over again, &#8220;What&#8217;s wrong with me?!?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that nothing is wrong. In fact, as our newest hero, the Protector, explains, something is actually quite right. When young people learn the real science behind their emotions, they learn to work with their feelings, not against them, and their emotional intelligence, self-worth, and true potential take off at superhero speed.<\/p>\n<p>In GoSocial!, kids get the tools they need to show up as their best, most authentic selves! They learn the real purpose of the anxious voices inside their heads, and they learn how to use their unique, personal strengths to meet new people, hold meaningful conversations, perform before an audience, and grow their social skills one confident step at a time.
