Hi Mike Well done for sticking with the desensing. Progress, as you say, is up and down, wth hopefully an upward trend. As for your club trough; this is at the top of anyone's hierarchy of challenge; so if you manage there, excelent, but if you misfire, that would be expected at this stage. Your mate who knows about it; any chance you could do some desensing with him in public at the level you should be desensing at? As you say, having him there helps, so it would help you build up confidence. A guy who came on a workshop did this; he was careful to progress in small steps, and has come out the other end; having his mate with him to support him was a major help. New flatmate; tell your Boo Monster your toilet has a door and a lock; and that the flatmate is not interested in your peeing habits! The evidence for that? Imagine asking him if he is interested :-) cheers Andrew
