    Thank you. Looking at my own progression, it actually makes a lot of sense that practice without feeling anxious won’t help (apart from training on what to say, or for example spotting when people lose interest because a story becomes too detailed.) I can talk all I want with those people I feel comfortable with, or in situations that I know how to navigate. As soon as someone I’m not comfortable with shows up, I still go numb.

    So the only way to break down the barrier is to deliberately and repeatedly set it up and punch through it. I think I have something that could work for that, which happens regularly and which I have sort of wished that I could be a part of. Do you think it’s possible for me to practice by myself, or do I need a therapist in the mix?
