6. Recognizing why you may be sensitized is helpful, but not essential to recovery. It uncovers ways you may mentally strain as a overall picture and allows you to apply directed mind power techniques. (To be described in #10)
(i.e. you were picked on as a child, now any criticism from a spouse sparks very intense reactions, you see this and now repeat I forgive and let go easily).
this is awareness and for me it was very important. thats how i knew my stressors-then when id catch them -id use my affirmations like i forgive and let go easily over and over-then id use im calm peacful and confident- in about a weeks time i was doing tons and tons better with all the stressors
eric, I've not felt so good today but your words have helped me. I keep remembering something you said in another post, you mentioned courage and I liked that a lot. Would you mind sharing a little more about this?
I feel like a broken record today, but this is yet another Claire Weekes concept.
Paraphrased: While the search for an original cause may be interesting, I have rarely seen it result in recovery. The patient is concerned with the state he is in NOW.
Beat the drum! Hillbilly's words reached me in a way that many haven't so when he mentioned Claire Weekes I paid attention. My mum gave me Self Help for Your Nerves quite a while ago and I didn't read it. Last night I started and I love her. Thanks for the nudge.
