So my big/gest anxiety trigger is my employment agency, I have never had anything good happen there, it is the epicentre of my extreme anxiety, the incompetence and unprofessionalism they have shown me means this place is just full of bad memories and experiences.

I am currently on a medical certificate which means I haven't had to see them in 1.5 months and I won't have to see them for another 1.5 months, and during this time I have been in therapy(psychologist) and have actually managed to learn and implement the grounding techniques which have really helped but I haven't had an occasion to put them to the test of my extreme anxiety.

Today I told my therapist that I am thinking of changing my employment agency, it is just a source of bad for me, mentally I just don't want anything to do with them again, she strongly suggested that I don't change, that I keep seeing them and "face them" with my new coping techniques, I get the 'face your fears' mentality, but it just seems like isn't it just setting me up for failure, I know I can deal with life's little anxieties, and that has been so great, knowing that, but honestly I don't think going back there is a good idea, I just don't want to be set back to where I was 3-4 months ago.

Any thoughts are welcome.
