Visiting
the Social Anxiety Therapy Group...
April
10, 1997
Dear
Dr. Richards,
If
you think it's appropriate, please share this with your group who
let me sit in Tuesday night.
I
just wanted to thank you all for allowing me sit
in on your group Tuesday night. It really gave me a
renewed excitement and feeling of confidence that there really is
hope for me!
I
was SO impressed by everyone's accomplishments!
Even though I heard some "Oh no, not that!"
before you got started with the Circle of Death, once you got
started you all sounded so confident, professional, and extremely
intelligent! I NEVER would have guessed in a million years
that it was something you found difficult or felt uncomfortable
doing.
Also,
the sense of humor that the group has, made a very frightful (for
me) situation, very comfortable and rewarding. I know it
won't be easy for me at first, but I am now looking forward to
joining the new group. I just can't say enough about how
impressed and inspired I was by the group and its
accomplishments.
Sincere
thanks to you all!
C.
