Hi,
I am gerrithegirl69 - writing to you because after so many years in therapy, I still am anxious and timid in social cicumstances. I go through so much anxiety prior to going - once I get therre most of the time I'm okay. Why can't I make myself understand that the anxiety is not needed because I'm pretty much fine once I get there. I'm trying to put the ghosts and fears behind me, but I can't seem to do it. I understand intelectually that these people are not my family who never accepted me and sexually abused me, and that I am safe now, when inside I don't feel safe.

Thanks for any fedback posted - Gerri
