Hi,

Its been only a few years since I understood that I'm a lesbian. It's causing severe impact in my life. How people look at me worries me the most. This resulted in anxiety problems. I don't know how to recover from it. Wrong thoughts and feelings are darkening my mind.

Recently I consulted an OCD therapy treatment clinic in Toronto. They suggested for Exposure Response Prevention. That was the first time I heard about ...

I did CBT a few years ago. I think I have anhedonia. At the start of every session I had to rate how I felt from a number between 1 to 10.

However, I have a couple of questions:

I was hoping to talk through my issues, related to numbness, and attachment trauma, and the sense that others will not help me do my duty, and that others cannot be relied, upon. One of my therapists gave me some worksheets, and I have been working through them; could I talk about them, here?

Basically, my goal, is to confront my family, and their enablers, and I can show my work, which has gotten me ...
