Wellllll,

For me I only get that when I'm depressed, and maybe it's weird, but have you tried sort of setting some sort of reward/incentive for yourself? My thing was food (okay, when I was depressed it wasn't the best idea, but it somehow worked). Forcing myself out into the wild for a little treat somehow works for me. I sort of treated myself like a dog in training, but eventually it got easier? It made me think more about the end result rather than the current experience. I was still present and exposed, but had that in my mind.

No matter what my mood is, stable or not, I still can't do groups, but that's a different issue... I will be getting emdr for that. Maybe that will help me (I know, not related), but it's really baked in there.

So yeah, maybe introduce some sort of incentive + exposure?
