1) Be completely open and honest
2) do what your therapist tells you to do.

You won't "feel" like you are gaining every session. It takes time.

halacha question: i want to go joging today.there are some immodestly dressed on the sidewalks.do i have to run on my treadmill instead?

is that a halacha question, or is it an attempt to use a 'third party' to distance yourself from the reality of the problem?

Doc...there's nobody who says it quite like you...and with such grace!

whats the reality of the problem? btw halacha says if you could take a alternate route u must take it .but in my house there is no beutiful weather

I always take the route along the beachfront....less lights there, and then i can learn more when i get home.

Calm down!!!! Take a deep breath. You are doing really well. Remember, progress not perfection. We aren't going to change ourselves over night. Step by step which exactly what you have been doing.

thanks for the support.9494 if you can share more about your social anxiety and tips that would be awsome. i have more to write but now is not the time .i relized the only way i can realy gain from therapy is to be open.but i find it really really really hard to do that anyway if anyone has any tips that would be great ibz

just resisted the hardest urge yet.i got on the level of yosef hatzadic.aculy did the same tactic as him .i ran out of the shower go me:)

YEAH GO YOU
