@@braskevful5760 you had the wrong therapist/s. It definitely works. It took me 20 years, a combination of therapists and medication-but I got there. You can give up if you want, but that’s up to you.

I cried a bit watching this because I could relate so much to the patient. I'm sick of pretending to be okay all the time. I need to address this.

Very difficult to find videos as helpful as this. See too many just defining the condition. I need guides to treatment like this. Thank you

I can perform in some social situations. But I know that people must not be allowed to know the real me, then they will reject me. So I reject them first

The worst thing about this is that it won't just come alone it causes more mental suffering such as anxiety and depression and other disorders like sleeping disorder or eating disorder. At such level the disorder becomes even more rooted and hard to cure

This disorder is like- being a hostage to your own mind. I’ve had it all my life. But this kind of therapy- only triggered it more. I have found that EMDR helped me the most.

@@amd.0001 During EMDR, patients recall a traumatic event while moving their eyes in a specific way, often following the movement of a therapist's finger. The goal is to reprogram the memory with a more positive belief.

My husband has this too undiagnosed. He's even quieter than the man in this video. It's very sad. He has so much self-shame and fear, but hides it extremely well. I see it come out sometimes and it's truly so sad. He just agreed to us both getting therapy for our own issues and I really hope this helps us, because we just had a son and really don't want to accidently hurt him with our problems. I have anxious attachment, so my husband and I are a pretty chaotic combo. We want our son to see two functioning, loving parents who communicate healthily to each other and to him.

When he asks about feelings of failure at the end I would reply, that the failure is real. I could have achieved more if I hadn't had an Avoidant Personality. So, you could say I achieved a lot considering I was carrying this burden. But in absolute terms, I have failed. Otherwise, why am I seeking therapy?
