I've been on generic lexapro 15 mg since early nov and have been in CBT since dec. each week I. Trying to find and make opportunities to expose myself to situations that cause me anxiety. I've had trouble with haircuts in the past. Since starting CBT I got 1. My therapist and I agreed by my next session I would get hair washed cut and blown dried!!! I wasn't sure I could do it but knew I needed to. Long story short I went last night it wasn't busy and I chatted away with the gal cutting my hair. The shampoo and drying was relaxing!! No anxiety and I feel a sense of empowerment from that experience like I wanna do more things like that for myself!!!

Positive things can happen to us again!!!!

Awesome way to take that first step... Sometimes all it takes is someone to encourage you so that you can move forward

Haircuts were a problem for me also but they are getting better and better now. I find it helps to keep your mind distracted and strike up a good conversation with whoever is cutting your hair.
