Feeling Good by Burns

[Diligence]

Last I posted I had decided to begin using Feeling Good by David Burns.  This is one of our recommended books on this site.  At first I checked it out of my local library.  I now own a copy.  With therapy, the constructive suggestions of this book, anti-depressants, and limited contact with my BPDM, I am healing (slowly but surely).

I haven't found a magic wand or any other quick fix to recover from the abuse that my parents perpetuate into my adult life.     I work on myself since that is the only person I have control over changing.

I recommend the book to my fellow sufferers.     It is a very useful resource.

Warm regards,

Diligence

I'm with you on that one. I was doing some work with the Feeling Good handbook - the same as Feeling Good, but with exercises included - and I found it very helpful while I was working with it.

I'm trying to continue using the insights in it even though I lost my copy of it in the divorce (I figured he needed it more than I did).
