Address pbm directly: Doc must find that it is most effective to work directly on the symptom of concern. Really the best and most efficient way to gauge progress. Medication might be helpful, but developing new skills and ability to apply them is the goal.

Exposure helps: Being in a group may elicit anxiety for you. In the group you will have the support of the therapist and other group members, some of whom may also suffer from social anxiety.
