Hi Touch of gray, I think you have already made the important first step by setting yourself some concrete goals. The next step for you and your future therapist would likely be to assess how realistic the goals are (for a specific time frame), as well as breaking them apart in smaller goals.
With my old therapist we didn't have any specific goals which honestly I found strange but since it was my first therapist ever I trusted that it was supposed to be that way. Now I have a new therapist and we have defined some goals, although nothing very specific yet. We haven't really set up a time frame for me to achieve them yet though. My goals would be to be able to use public transportation, do my own shopping etc. So basically I have to develop coping strategies in order to reduce my anxiety symtoms and be able to master every day life situations.
I hope you will find a competent therapist who is willing to work with you the way you want to. Speaking from my experience so far it might take some time until you find the right one for you. Maybe the nurse you are seeing would be able to recommend someone. take care
Thanks for this!
