I completely agree with you Liz. I hate it when people say they 'cant' do something because of their phobia- this phobia doesn't physically prevent you from doing anything, you put your own barriers on your activities. I think we all need to realize sometimes that we give this phobiathe power to dictate what we do- this isnt some physical tangible thing that is beyond our control- we allow it to take control. The upside of this is that if we put it there, and allow these damaging thought processes to take over- we can also take them away.


And Liz- there are some good docs/counsellors out there.....and I know it can be an extremely frustrating process to find one that is in line with your treatment goals and how you want to achieve them. Don't give up the good fight! Doctors are kind of like men- you have to kiss a few before you find one who isn't a complete waste of space.
