I am doing exposure therapy, but don't know if I am ready to face it all or if I ever will be...conveniently bad weather and exaution has caused me to miss a few appointments, I do my best to rescedule but I am very forgetful and have a hard time remebering things like that. But yeah I can think of various issues that can be somewhat traced back to certain things, but just don't know how to be ready to delve into anything. I can only hold the therapist off so long with just trying to think of things to adress rather than addressing anything...

and it feels like no matter what I do something will be missing from it.

I've never heard of "exposure therapy" before.

I hope you are able to benefit from it.

I had exposure therapy a few years ago. It pretty much means just that...exposure to things that make you uncomfortable. In my case it involved asking people for directions at the bus terminal. Lol

You'll be fine. If things get too intense, you will know and you can tell your therapist.
