i guess its a goal...yeah....im going to research the internet and phone book and leave messages to therapists to help me with referrals to actual therapists who specialize in SA...yeah...yeah....good goal....you think?

Are there therapists who specialize in SA? I have noticed the biggest problem i have is negitive thinking; find a speicalist in that and i think you have got something. Have you tried suggestions by your current therapist... i think you should focus on when you don't feel it's work so you can understand what kind of treatment you're looking for.

i dont know. i've complained...well the only complaint i seem to give him is that i lack meaningful friendships in my life...i dont really have much of an SA problem..much more of being social.....huh....i dont know really....i researched therapists n groups on the internet....and for some reason im procrastinating with the phone calls... ive discussed previously with my current/past therapist....but yeah....nothing beneficial im getting out of so i dont really know....oh well...

Do you not feel comfortable discussing this with your therapist? Ask him. He shouldn't be offended or anything. He should be happy to help you.

no..he knows my problem..ive honestly told him and complained about my situation...and he's not helpful. really he's not. he doesn't specialize nor can help me. really. i quit therapy with him last week. its over. its over. come on think on it. i just need help with me being more social. its not much of the anxietal part of it all. not at all. so yeah. again i feel stupid for procrastinating with the phone calls. ....anyway
