Thank you Bluedaisy
yep getting the right therapist is like finding a needle in a haystack,
and you need to gel with them, i was real lucky those years back,
Thanks for the book recommendation called "Mind over mood" i will see if i can get that. I'm thinking of finding a therapist privately like you but would mean getting a loan and don't want to be in debt ! And there are loads of people practising CBT that don't know who to see!!
Anyway the best of luck to you, sorry things haven't worked out, like you my agoraphobia/sa is at a chronic stage but i do sometimes have good days.
Lots of love Richie xxxxx
