Practical advice

Hello all. Just finished my first PT school practical! While I got a great score on it, I got flagged for lack of small talk which could potentially lead to intimidation in a real clinical setting. I knew this was going to be an issue for me since I have social anxiety and small talk has never been easy, but I know I need to work on this so I can become a successful PT. Any advice on how to remediate this issue? I know this isn't an overnight fix and it will require time and practice, but... Practical advice
