I thought it would be helpful to post examples of success for Avies.
Big or small.

Has anyone benefited from gentle prodding from a therapist or loved one? Or pushing yourself to do something you didn't want to do and it turned out alright?

My small example would be: working with the public while having social phobia....it is a particular kind of hell at times. However, I am grateful for the practice of communicating and interacting with people it has forced upon me.
