Has a particular type of therapy worked for you? I am not sure where to start approaching therapists, even that feels too assertive of my needs they have always been assigned to be via a network.
What does recovering from CEN look like? I feel like I have tried to recover from this for 10 years and here I am 28 and still unable to make friends.

I am now in my mid 60's and have been in therapy much of my life only CEN has only recently been given a name and studied intensely by Dr. Jonice Webb. Her book Running on EMpty and numerous articles will have you thinking 'yes that's me' over and over. Her work is invaluable and helped me with the struggles only those with CEN know and helped uncover what I had strived to learn in all those years of therapy. The articles are posted on Psych Central. Best of luck delving into a once unnamed but large issue.
