Hi, I haven't read through all the messages to you, so if I am repeating something already said, oh well! I am in therapy right now with a person who specializes in Social Phobia. She is wonderful. I tried other therapists, none were really "into" the social phobia/anxiety thing and hence were no help at all. First find someone who specializes in the area you want to work on. Also we are currently trying EMDR on me and it is working wonders. A very interesting type of therapy, read up on it if you are interested. It has been particularily helpful to me since I had a very traumatic event in my life about 10 years ago which looks like it has been a major factor in my social anxiety.


> There are many references on this and other BBSs to psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Are there any differences between psychotherapy and CBT, and if so, what are they? Also, does anyone have a preference as to which works better for long-term anxiety and possible social phobia? I'm trying to figure out just where I belong in obtaining the best benefit from therapy, but I'm uncertain, and more than a little confused.
