My therapist thought it would be a good idea to post here for exposure therapy. She believes it will help with some social anxiety so im giving it a quick try. Maybe i'll be less anxious about posting in the future.

I wanted to add that I overcame social anxiety and you can too, going to therapy is a good place to start.

I am not quite sure what problems you are receiving exposure therapy for, but generally exposure therapy begins in small steps, and then increases in duration. Also, remember that there will be ups and downs in your dealing with this community, and what’s important to look for, is the overall trend of your progress, not any specific incident. Good luck.

Hi plaganon5 , I hope you are fine today ?

Your therapist is right, this place is mostly safe and secure. We all are anonymous and nobody will ever judge or have bad comments about your feelings, because we share them.

Welcome on board, fasten your seat belt and prepare for a great journey !

Love from France
