I haven't posted here in a long time...I find it difficult to do so...but I do read often and wish that posting would come more easily.

I have a question regarding SH. I have social anxiety disorder and also SH. I'm not in therapy, but recently I signed up for a group "Social Confidence and Self Esteem" workshop that starts around the beginning of November (If I don't cancel from sheer nervousness beforehand, that is). My question is regarding the SH. Some of my scars are difficult/impossible to cover up, and I am wondering what sort of reaction I should expect from the group leader (who is a Ph.D, registered psychologist). I'm hoping that he simply doesn't make the association, but not counting on it, considering that he is probably trained to recognize such things. I've never been in therapy (exepting one session in which things didn't really get off the ground) so I'm unsure of exactly what to expect. Any replies/advice would be greatly appreciated!

hugs to all,
Robin
