Had my first session of this.....it was good.
Went into town and stood in some queues with my therapist. She made me focus on how my body was feeling when I felt grim. Focussing on my rubbery legs instead of trying to block the feelings out does actually help. It was like acceptance.
I was worried about fainting and being vulnerable. She was asking what's the worst that an happen....I said fainting...she asked if I wanted her to collapse in a heap in the shop to show me what happens!
I have to keep getting myself into these situations for a few days and score my anxiety.
She's had plenty of people worse than me that now cope perfectly well.
It's good.
