I'm located in Philadelphia, one of the anxiety treatment epicenters; small comfort. Is Dr. Richard's course the one from the social anxiety web site? - I remember looking at that sometime ago- I actually am in cognitive behavioral therapy to try to redirect some of the deep-seating negative spin I put on everything (although I can be quite charitable toward others). It's just so frustrating because I have been so self-absorbed for so many years that I seem to lack the cultural references and social cues that most acquire in day-to-day living. I'm not going to kick myself for not watching Survivor (I don't even get cable!) but I do feel like the Brother from Another Planet when it comes to knowing what folks are talking about.
Bicycling to Flin Flon, Manitoba right know seems like a wonderful opiate...
Sorry I've rambled. That's a glimpse of where I'm at in relation to this. Best wishes, Phil.> Hi Phil!

Can I ask you where you are based & I may be able to offer some more appropriate info?
