Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Temporary thread

[flowmom]

I also recommend The Feeling Good Handbook. And to be honest this is something that you can easily work with daily without help. I still recommend seeing an IC but I'm just not sure if I'd make it be all about the CBT as that's easier to DIY than some therapeutic approaches.

An approach that is very powerful is The Work. Similar to CBT, it is based on questioning our thoughts and beliefs. Although the process is quite simple (you can watch short clips of it in action on the site), IME the inquiry process of The Work gets closer to the core of things. The web site has free phone facilitators as well as paid ones that you can contact to meet in person or arrange phone consultation. I'm thinking of doing this myself as The Work is the most powerful personal development process that I've encountered. I've done some myself, but I can see the value in having it facilitated. Avermont posted about her positive experience with a The Work facilitator in her thread.
