Copying this email I sent to Andrew not long ago (after a looooooong delay): "I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for what you've done to help me (and undoubtedly many others). Going to the workshop flipped some kind of mental switch. Now, 95%+ of the time, I don't worry before I go out, or before I head to the loo - and bang, the issue is rendered minor. I don't need to go as much, I don't spend all my time thinking about it, and it doesn't get in the way of my day-to-day life. I can't express how much that means to me; such a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I'm not cured yet, of course, and one day I'll find the appropriate time and spare money to go to a follow-up workshop. Incidental practice, taking opportunities to go when I'm out and about, has so far proved remarkably successful, far more than I could've achieved this easily before the workshop. I have an en-suite bathroom this year (of uni), and so I'm going to do a decent amount of dedicated desensing practice this holiday in the same vein as the stuff we did at the workshop. I'm curious to see how far I can get and how quickly, and how easy it is to reattain a previous achievement on repeated attempts. Thank you so, so much. Adam"
