> Yes, that's a big "oops" on my part. I'm at work, and going from (a highly tempermental) memory. It's funny, but I really prefer the book! Sometimes, granted, I skim over the treatment/session protocols, but the book takes more time with the metaphors and fleshes out the philosophy in a grabbable way. Meaning that I can digest it better, of course.
no problem. Most meds I've been on really screwed my memory and simply the ability to "think straight". I too skim the client/therapist examples, they're not really that relevant. I tend to focus on the theory and the metaphors.
> Wow, that's too bad. Though it's not surprising. I only recently discovered babble and have, on occasion, realized that it was time to take a break, that inquiring, digging, ferreting out info was getting out of control (as it is wont to do, if I am not otherwise occupied). Granted, I'm still looking for my med combo (uh, anyone know what to do when a med makes the skin on your face *really dry* I mean *really, really, really dry and almost scaly*--good times! I'm going for auditions for a horror show next week), but it's really cool to hear about people finding therapies and meds that work for them. All in balance, I suppose.

> Funny about those metaphors. I'm just newly exposed to them and them seem quite glom-on-able. Lately, it's been the quicksand that's bouncing around like a pinball in my head. Plink. Plink. Plink.What meds are you on? I've been on a few. The problem is, of course, that YMMV so suggesting meds to one another is not always a useful thing to do. However, being aware of all your options can't be bad I suppose. I'm currently coming off Buspar. I was taking it with Lexapro and am moving to just Lex now. That wasn't a bad combo although it did nothing for my anxiety and completely backed me up to the extent where I was constantly taking laxatives. Lovely...
I also experienced some scarier side effects but not quite as bad as your dried out skin, that sounds pretty grim =0(
> glom-on-able.
