The books are on hold for me at the library. I just need to get over there during business hours to pick them up. I'm concerned for me too.
Oof! That must be frustrating! Here, I have a link that might be of help in the meantime. This website has a great little pdf workbook on self esteem - all sorts of good info and exercises on negative core beliefs, self-evaluation, how we 'protect ourselves' with rules & assumptions, and working towards a more balanced view of ourselves. It's very credible and concrete info; has been invaluable to me and echoes a lot of what my IC has been working on with me.
