Sounds quite feasible!
I find interesting things surface when I'm upset & ask myself the question, "When have I felt like this before?"
I find often that a situation from DECADES ago just pops right into my mind.I'm just on Chapter 4 of the "Mind over Mood" CBT workbook. But our family counsellor had already photocopied the section about the "Thought Records", so I've been doing them off & on for several months.
Have you worked on CBT?
I'm delighted that my son is doing it also. I used what I've heard called "The Grandmother Method" to nudge that into happening! He expressed the desire to have more records for his mixing/DJing & I expressed the wish to support him in that & said that there was a circumstance under which I'd be glad to do it. I mentioned CBT & said he could think about whether he'd like to do commit to doing the book & if he decided to, he could choose some records & I'd get them for him. He said that he'd seen the photocopied sheets about it & thought it seemed pretty good, so that's how that happened! Interesting that I've seen a difference in how both of us are seeming to not get as upset about things that normally would upset us (each of us in our own lives).
Was it you who told about the free online CBT course through the Scottish University? It's really GOOD. I began it, but then learned of this book. I already sometimes spend more time than feels comfortable on the computer, so I like the book because of that. :-)
MY I am babbling on like a true babbler!
Hugs, Kath
