I realized something recently. I always listen to Ventura Highway on my way to a birth or prenatal/postpartum appointment. What is that all about? The song relaxes me so maybe it is my subconscious attempt to encourage oxytocin–the love hormone? Or maybe I’m self-medicating? My sister (the counselor) teased me recently by “diagnosing” me with a social phobia. Synthetic oxytocin is currently being studied as a treatment for social phobia. Still, who needs oxytocin nasal spray when you can listen to America?
At least I think she was teasing me…
Inexplicable Ways 
Interesting post you have here. Social phobia is not easy to overcome. But you can learn from http://www.whatcausespanicattacks.comabout simple prevention methods. Can be pretty handy.
