Social Anxiety and EMDR

I was wondering about other people’s experiences, I am currently doing EMDR for social anxiety mostly right now. I feel like things are getting better and I’m trying to keep a notebook of positive things that happen wrt my social anxiety, I was wondering if someone feels like they’ve been “cured” from social anxiety from EMDR lol. I am also trying some exposure therapy (very little but it’s more than before) and just making a bit more conversation with people who work at the stores I go to (I’m a teacher so I’m not seeing that many people in the summer rn lol). Idk, I’m like really hopeful but it really freaking sucks being mostly extroverted and having social anxiety I feel like I’m in jail and I have the key but I can’t let myself out. LMAO i was just curious other peoples experiences with social anxiety specifically!!!!! Ive had social anxiety since like 8th grade and it’s been sucky lol (I was so outgoing as a child I miss my old self)
