I'm still working on the last things we did, and I'm looking forward to being able to go back. It made a huge difference. I've seen Dr. David Tolin for this problem, and I LOVE him, though for most of my treatment, I've seen one of the doctors that works under him. He has a new book out about treating anxiety disorders. I bought it, but haven't had a chance to read all of it yet. It seems really helpful, and I'm hoping finishing the book will help while I'm not in treatment. Good luck to you. I've found CBT to be a great thing.
