My therapist has and is pushing me to go out beyond my comfort zone is interactions with others. In situations that were not risky of putting myself in any harm. You need to have some tools at your disposal to to help when you start feeling anxiety.
She helped my with immersion therapy doing a series of little things to build of confidence.I went from not going food shopping without someone else with me to going out in public by myself even to a pool. I still get a little anxious but I am able to do it
