Hi ShortE,
I’m still near the beginning of the book. My ex-T recommended it and I guess I find it useful when I’m finding it hard to sort my head out. I find it helps to go along with what they say, even if I’m feeling quite sceptical. It’s pitched fairly widely, so I sometimes feel I’m being told something I already know, but having said that, I still find the exercises useful. If you’ve read the Amazon reviews you’ll know it’s a CBT workbook. I think my T used some CBT techniques with me, though he was fairly eclectic I think. So CBT is somewhat new to me. But I like the book because it gives me a list of things to do; I do them and I feel better. That seems to help on days when I just can’t facing doing very much.
Sorry, I think I’ve rambled a bit. Did that begin to answer your question? Is there anything else you’d like to ask?
