I do have difficulties with being assertive,socially interacting with others(outside of family and other clients at the mh centre/drop in centre),organizing myself -i get sidetracked very easily on irrelevancies whilst puttin off or sometimes forgetting to do things i should do.
Dear Firemonkey,
My therapist might remind you that this decision is yours. You are in control and can choose to do whatever you want. (She would be more concise yet gentler.)

My thought about the class is that they are going to start with something very beginnerish. They do not expect you to already be comfortable with this entire program on the first meeting. They will build up to the more advanced exercises during the 12 weeks.

I wish that there was a way to go the first time or even just poke your head in the door to see if you like it and then decide. There is a possiblilty that you would gain some coping skills and find some gain in the course.

But I don't like starting something new so I can see that the possible gain might not out weigh the possible loss.
