Antisocial MT

[Power of m squared]

Vchild and others, I can only imagine how difficult it must be as an MT to self promote when you are shy or suffering from anxiety/panic.  I hope you are able to find a solution that works for you.  It is wonderful to read the tremendous amount of compassion on this board and it is really wonderful to see the support offered here.

Antisocial MT

Some things I suggest:Bodywork (patronize your colleagues!)- Polarity (find a practitioner at http://www.polaritytherapy.org/polarity/agreement.html )- Body-centered therapyEmotional Freedom Technique (find a practitioner at http://www.emofree.com/Practitioners/referralMain.asp )Flower Essences (not necessarily just Bach. Check out http://www.greenhopeessences.com/ )I'd mainly use the essences to support you in whatever other work you'll be doing. While you're not dependent on anyone else, you said this has been with you a long time, which means it may not necessarily change overnight... sounds like you have a desire to transform it quickly, and working with someone else can sometimes help move it more efficiently than the DIY approach.PS: If you decide to go with some form of talk- or hypno-therapy, consider supporting that work with bodywork like ortho-bionomy, shiatsu, cranio-sacral, or *anything*. Just so you're getting touch along with the rest of it. You can set intentions for shifting your social patterns before any kind of session, even regular ol' Swedish.
