I found motorway services really good for desensitisation but you can't predict how busy they will be so you have to be patient. The densensing on my own took a long time. Im ok now but wish I had gone on the course as it would have been quicker but back then I didn't want anyone to know because I was so embarassed about it. Thats the problem, embarassment drives this problem and probably stops a lot of people seeking help.However when you are over it you realise its not a big deal and wonder what all those years of worry were about. Good luck going it alone. Some of my comments on the recent CBT thread may be of use to you.
