So I spoke to a professor like a year ago, and told him about my social anxiety and other "issues", and he pretty much told me he used to be like me but he went to therapy and things turned out well for him.
My insurance is adequate; I've been meaning to do this for a minute but I've been
1. Apprehensive about the process
2. Iffy on the stigma that comes with going to therapy. I'm not one of those "therapy= crazy" morons but I don't want to go into it if there's not really anything legitimately wrong
3. I have no idea where to start as far as looking for a therapist. I don't have any family or friends who go to therapy, so they have no idea about the process, which is why I'm on an anonymous message board. Lol.
I figure I should give it a shot because I'm close to graduating, school is getting really tough now, and I'm quitting my job to focus on school for the fall semester anyway and I want to do something productive with the free time.
Any advice or insight would be appreciated
