It stanks!

for me, its not about changing my thoughts, although they might be negative, its about showing up and being present.

it's about changing your thoughts and doing exposure therapy. i have the tapes, they are helping a lot, you just gotta keep doing them, it takes time, but you will be surprised how much you improve even without realizing it at first!

are you having problems with something specific?

leomouse · 01-07-2009, 07:03 PM

i'm fixing lots of problems, i don't even wanna talk about what's wrong with me because the whole program is about avoiding negative thinking, i'm definitely improving and socializing more, i don't care what people think of me as much, i feel less shame and it helped me see others as equal to me not superior like i use to think... right now i'm on tape 7 and it actually helps but you gotta stay motivated and do it every single day, it takes time to change your thinking...

I've been reading past threads on a guy that overcame SA.
post.
He recommends getting the book "Overcoming Social Anxiety and Shyness"(by Gillian Butler) over the tapes.

I disagree, I find tapes much easier to stick with. It's harder to have a real schedule when all you have is a book. With the tapes, it's like having a therapy appointment every week; and then you practice what you learned during the rest of the week. It's all set up for you. And yes I'm a little lazy.

I think I got to tape 4 or 5 before I stopped. He would say some things I sort of disagree with. Something along the lines of feeling "as comfortable in social situations as you were when you were a child!" Kids do all sorts of things in public. I don't want to feel that comfortable. I dunno maybe I was so used to being able to argue with my last therapist...
