Just as an afterthought ... this may interest you. I have not been back here for a long while and in reading some of the threads (definitely no offence to anyone.. I fully sympathise with you all) I find it really difficult. Its hard for me to read them now as it brings back..not the emotions but the "patterns of thinking" that now I steer away from. Unfortunately fate has brought quite a few very bad misfortunes my way and my "paruresis way of thinking" never returned however a quick browse of the board ...someone outside the cubicle....long trips... that is classic "text book" paruresis way of thinking. I think certainly AS WELL AS as the desensitization route, if you think that way, get to a workshop as well, (or many workshops!..no one is counting..)
