I ordered the book yesterday. I didn't take the test because, well, I didn't need to take it.
I checked out the audio book from my library and have listened to more than three hours of it so far, taken many pages of notes, and (mea culpa), done this all while sitting at my desk at work.
I spent my session with my IC yesterday discussing it. I told him that he is my #1 "safe person" (Breaking Free exercise number one). He thinks it sounds like a good framework for self improvement, but was not familiar with the book or Dr. Glover.
I even told Ms.Hdog about ordering the book, and sent her the website today. I told her that I would like her help in working through some of the exercises, as some of them require input from one's significant other. She agreed to help however she can.
She is, however, not one of my "safe persons." I identified three safe persons and, beside my therapist, I intend to talk to one of my long-time friends, and reserve the third spot for either this forum, or perhaps the online forum at Glover's website. Nothing against my wife, but it just seems like a suitable safe person should not be the significant other in your life--they may have interests which diverge from your interest in becoming a "former nice guy."
Thank you, Mrs Nop, for recommending this. The relevance of the syndrome to my life was clear and immediate.
