Very well said !

Thank you Dr. Chapman. I am starting therapy with someone who says on her website she does CBT. It sounds so promising. I have suffered all of my life with social anxiety and have tried many therapists and medications in the past. I have faith this will work if I put the work in to it.

How did it go?

@@backseatgaming9087 Still suffering. I have not had a therapist truly understand my needs or do CBT as asked. I was told by this particular therapist at the time that is was OK to be alone and want to be alone. This was the exact opposite of why I was going to see her. I went a few more times and stopped going after that.

How many hours of training should a practitioner have? I found one who has 750 hours of training which seems to be a lot. What do you think?
