from reading what you put i think the main problem is by just repeatedly exposing yourself to situations, this alone will rarely help to overcome sa, infact i think this very thing has been mentioned in the dr richards handouts, i can send you the info if you like? because by just exposing yourself repeatedly and not actually looking or challening what is going on with your perceptions nothing is likely to shift internally. also have you had any support any therapy at all?
I think that's true, self-awareness is the most important thing
