Hi Just wanted to reiterate what so many have already said. Firstly, you now know that you not alone with this. I am a similar age to you (35) and have suffered with this for as long as I can remember. It controls your life, makes you feel inadequate and prevents you from taking part in so many things. However, having found this site, my mind set is wholey different to what it use to be...........long may it last. With respect to the workshops, I am booked in on the London beginners workshop following my new found bravery, along with encouragement from the kind people on this site. Let us not forget the book by Stephen Soiffer, which has given much more than I could have hoped for. I am really looking forward to the workshop, it will be great to meet some of those whom have given so many kind words. Maybe I'll see you there! Take care Sally Pete
