I think the answer embrace, is in your name :-) You have to interact with people, get out of your head entirely, do what is most scary/difficult for you. Reading about things and "predicting" what therapists will say can't help because you're not "there" in any conversation. I can predict that if I say "Hello" you'll say "Hi" back, too :-) But "knowing" that doesn't disappoint/bore me like you were in group, or make me feel "safe" because I know the answer, because I'm going to be wanting to hear what you'll say next (like one's therapist wants to know) and hope you'll want to get to know me by what I'll say next. Will I walk on and not want to say/know more? Think how if the conversation is expanded so someone says "Hi, how are you?" (which is a greeting usually rather than a question) the other person automatically says, "Fine" (whether they are or not when it's two people who are acquaintances rather than good friends -- because it is just a greeting, not an invitation to spill one's guts). But in group/therapy and with good friends (like us :-) the rules change and your therapist shouldn't be able to predict what you'll say next.

It's not what your therapist will say that is important, it's what you respond, what you learn about yourself that is important in therapy. Get out of your head by checking your heart instead!
