Hi Christina I found this website a few weeks ago after having the problem for 40 years. I went on a beginner's workshop recently, and it has changed my whole attitude - instead of regarding this as a restrictive and unavoidable part of my life, I have realised that there are techniques to be learned to overcome it. I still have a long way to go to be "cured" but I made progress in just the one weekend, and am doing a follow up workshop soon. Like most people there, I was nervous at the start of the weekend, but you are not put under any pressure to do anything you are not comfortable with and everyone was so friendly and normal. Just being able to talk openly with people who share the problem was such a relief, and the workshop leaders were great. So if you can get to a workshop, my advice is go for it! Good luck. Jane
