A therapist is literally no more effective than a machine producing random messages like 'why do you think this is so' and 'try thinking at this from a different perspective' and 'you can't be certain that this is the case'.
A therapist is perfectly context-agnostic. They spout their crap no matter what they had heard of you -- actually, they don't listen to you in the first place.
>try to find a therapist who's had personal experience with social anxiety disorder
>none apparently exist
>finally go to one who specializes in it and does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
>he's a 10/10 Chad with a wife and son who charges $2 a minute for his oh-so-holy time
>tell him all about how I have trouble going outside, can't talk to people despite very much wanting to, feeling very insecure and self-aware all the time, not being able to make phone calls, etc.
>"Well, Anon, have you tried joining a club at school?"
>"Have you tried breathing deeply?"
>"Take these Jew Pills for three months."
>"Maybe try joining a support group?"
Literally as useless as talking to some random, unqualified stranger on Omegle. Probebly even moreso.

One of the few things that's genuinely helped my social anxiety was going to the psych ward. I didn't go there for anxiety, but in an institution like that interpersonal interactions are completely different, and it's much easier to talk to other people. Doesn't exactly translate over to real life, but at least it gives you some experience.
