Some might think sweating is normal and healthy, while others might feel self-conscious about it. It's like how some people love swimming because they grew up near the beach! 3. **Catastrophizing:** Sometimes, people might make a big deal out of sweating because of their own insecurities. But just because someone else thinks that, doesn't mean it's true for you! By the end of our adventure, you'll feel super awesome and ready to challenge those yucky thoughts about sweating.

Season 1: Start Here

I realized that no matter what physically I did to help me with my excessive sweating, in my mind, I was still a person who excessively sweat. It still controlled me. It still ran my life. I still had all of the shame, all of the embarrassment. All of the social anxiety that I had growing up. It was still all there. Botox stopped the excessive sweat, but it didn't change who I was. I didn't get to enjoy the feeling of sweating less because in my mind, I still identified as a person that sweat too much.
