Good for you for wanting to better yourself! Therapy can help with all kinds of self-awareness and moving forward. I think it is great that you have decided to get some help to achieve the goals you want to achieve!

You are very articulate and describe well what is going on and how you deal with it and/or avoid what it is you fear. You are way ahead of many on that score!

You are on your way to a better life!
