Thanks Lurkette, it is good to hear from someone with a real-life perspective about this particular drug. I browsed online for a while, and noticed that the majority of health sites were copying the official description literally word for word, with no other input than what the drug company had written.
The counseling did deal with cognitive techniques, it helped somewhat, but it just felt that the issue was so deepy ingrained over years of feeling this way that I think I could benefit from a little relief in pill form... which I hate to say, because Paxil drove me mad and I swore I'd not take another pill again, but it is affecting my 2 year old in the way that I have a hard time even going to the zoo with her.
I'm going to see if my library has that book, thanks so much for the mention of it.
