In reply to Anxiety: exposure the only permanent solution?, posted by Zonked on August 18, 2011, at 21:19:09
I find myself avoiding things like phone calls too, even if I have no conscious awareness of being anxious about them. It's more like dread or a magnetic repulsion.
Exposure has definitely been found to work. However, it's my understanding that it needs to be done carefully in order to avoid further traumatization and added anxiety.
