The Lake Effect Agoraphobia Group Meetup

This is a Meetup for anyone 18 or older who needs a support team to break out of agoraphobia and social phobia with. I am one of the people who needs to get out -- we'll all be in the same boat, and that's why I'm starting this. We'll have three months to meet once a week for an hour on Skype -- voice only -- together and introduce ourselves, decide how we want to handle getting to know each other, and time to develop bonds of trust and caring. We will make a commitment to each other. and ourselves. to meet by a specific date soon after the new year begins. I'm giving us all this time because November and December are very busy months with holidays and baking and visitors and people shopping and horrible traffic everywhere! So the first or second week of January will be when we meet in the flesh! Send me a message, on the board or by email, with any questions or suggestions, and to leave me your Skype nick so I can add each of you on my Skype software and call you all Monday night, at 8:00 PM, September 21. I have limited the Meetup size to 10, for now. I can change that if necessary. IN THE MEANTIME .... If you want to do something nice for you, try to find a copy of this audiobook at your local CPL branch, or a download of the audiobook online that's not as expensive to download as it is to purchase as three CDs: "Radical Self-Acceptance," by Tara Brach. Brach shows you some wisdom from eastern philosophy and western psychology that demonstrate that it's not until you accept even the unacceptable of yourself that you can have true compassion for others, too.
