Hi. I have a bit of a clothes/appearance anxiety problem and my therapist wants me to go extreme! This is part of my CBT therapy. For example: Wear one sock red and one white. Or wear a shirt with a large stain on it. May be dye my hair orange? (gulp) Any other ideas on what I can try?

pj h: CBT is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is everything but wacko. It is one of the most effective therapies that there is for the mood disorders .

Just wear something totally different from what you're used to and what you're comfortable with.
For me i'm always in jeans and tennis shoes. Always.
Wearing a dress and heels would be horrible for me, lol!

try putting two pairs of pants on. One on top of the other. OR mismatched socks. Or underwear on your head. Always fun

wait a minute, your shrink is telling you to dress like a fool for your therapy? What purpose is this going to serve?...There is nothing wrong with wanting to look your best, and to look good, because that is who you are...now he really needs to get to the reason you find that you have to feel the need to dress up for others, if this is the problem...I can kinda see where he is leading, but why would he put you in a position that people will be mocking you? this is supposed to help you? I am sorry, this is why I don't like shrinks...Pray to the good Lord and there lies your answers...through Jesus, to help you overcome any problem you ever have in this world

Wear everything in sight. Tape stuff to yourself, wear pajama bottoms on your head, wear paper bracelets. That kinda stuff.
