With that said, you might need to invest a little time in discerning the initial quality of the relationship vs. choosing a clinician with a specific approach or theory.

A good working client-therapist relationship can help you to develop more effectual ways to live life more fully. A psychiatrist may only be helping you with one aspect of your treatment,...medication. Medication alone is not effect with the level of anxiety and symptoms you described here. Your patterned reaction to your environment is the problem, not the dating or social situations. When you begin to change your learned fear reactions and teach your body to more calmly respond you will decrease avoidance patterns. Nausea can be a part of chronic anxiety and or panic. In the short term you may want to carry with you a small vile of essential oil of peppermint and lavender for nausea and increasing calm. This oil can be lightly inhaled from the vile, your skin or a small cloth. You should also consider whether or not most of the anxiety is due to unresolved trauma.
