Any good resources the help with healthy anxiety? I just started Intensive Outpatient Therapy- which is way out of my comfort zone. Any advice on how to make it successful. did it work for you?

      Honestly intensive outpatient being successful is quite dependent (at least from my experience) on where it is. Around me there aren’t very many well rated places so it’s tough. If you like the place you are going to, then try to find a way to be comfortable with the other people there. They aren’t going to judge. After that it can work wonders. You’ve gotta be active in the activities even if you are just silently participating. One of my only poor experiences with IOP is being easily triggered. If they don’t filter what can be talked about in a group setting then it’s not easy to work though your own anxiety when other people are sharing their issues and trauma.

        @_Rat_ Thanks for responding. Just went for my 3rd day today, and definitely getting more comfortable but will take time to share more in the group setting. I do enjoy the DBT skills they teach. From what I heard, the place I’m going too is a good one. Hoping for the best!
