(((((( Ygrec )))))) Thanks a lot for the kind words! Yes I have been around the block I'm sorry to say. I've been dealing with life crippling SA, GAD, OCD, Major Depression, DPD, and Panic, to various different degrees for 14 years. My biggest fear is not getting fixed before I get old. We can't waste any time on therapists that don't know what they are doing or simply aren't equipped for our needs. Most of those guys are only suited to be counselors imo but they try to treat people with serious psychiatric disorders that they DON'T UNDERSTAND! Like my last guy for instance didn't even know what social phobia was all about - I had to TEACH HIM.

Anyway, I'm surprised that exposure therapy didn't help you with your specific anxieties. I have found that psychoanalysis is a load of crap that won't help you with anything beyond feeling better temporarily. Have you actually tried e.t. on your phobias or did you use it to try and treat generalized social phobia because that won't work?
