Stop body language holding you back | Social anxiety self-help

Nadine and Hannah, two of our youth mental health workers, talk us through the differences between "closed" and "open" body language and how closed body language can hold you back in social situations by unintentionally suggesting that you are disinterested in the conversation.

Have you found yourself displaying closed body language before? Were you aware you were doing it? Will you try out open body language next time you speak to someone? Comment below to share your experience.
