Get to know them: You need to understand the purpose of seeing your providers. Trust them, get to konw them. Determine for yourself the importance of it and make a concerted effort to have self control. There is not med or perfect treatment. Self control is all you really have and if you make up your mind to be in control you can be. It doesn't hurt to have a anti anxiety med a few times either.

See your physician: Talk this over with your physician who is treating you for the agoaphobia. He/she will be able to give you advice as to how to handle visits to your doctors and dentists. There may be something that can be prescribed to lessen the anxiety you feel.
