Going to therapy was hard for me at first (and it still is) but I just choose to do it, and I like going. I think there are several different therapies that can help AVPD. CBT or DBT, meds (not a type of therapy but something that can help), and something my therapist does called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with the addition of some DBT. There are youtube videos with people talking about this and other personality disorders and things that help them. I've found that watching those are very helpful for me because I can hear from a fellow sufferer and they understand me.
