Sorry I don't have any great words of wisdom. I become very apprehensive at times and do not like social gatherings for the most part. I can handle stores and thing like that, but not to keen on groups or things. Exposure is a way some work on this, but I would like to throw something out there to consider. Exposure could traumatized if not don't right. Perhaps someone you know could help or you could go over that with your t. Best wishes.
