Re: Dear Diary

Dear J. First, so very thankful your grandson is better and catching up. Brooke and you will work it out together so you can speak. The Omnipotence Error in CBT means you feel responsible for all the ills in the world, all that is a hardship to others and their suffering. Major guilt inducing force ...

Re: Dear Diary

Oh, dear, dear J. Can't imagine the concern re what you describe. The Agreement still applies. Do your best not to upset your daughter and be optimistic about your darling J. Nature is quite miraculous, wants us to be well. You are miraculous in all you accomplish, all you can accommodate. But you a...

Re: Dear Diary

Yes, the promise lives on. You and R live in me as long as I have my wits. Can't believe what LTT, StressCenter.com, AZ have done for me, helping me to face whatever is in store. So, yes, Gratitude is big. As you may know I tend to be critical of technology, but cherish the magical friends it enable...

Re: Dear Diary

Wish I were tipsy to come up with a super post like J. Instead, I'm my typical dull self. Was wondering about you, R. Not like you to not join up esp. at this time. But here you are with metaphors aplenty. Makes me smile. Your mother is holding on and you are there to hold her up. But you must remem...

Re: Dear Diary

What a story, Dave. Congratulations. Much happiness to you and your lucky lady. The grand adventure of life picks up in unexpected ways. The program can indeed be very effective. I've learned so much and am always grateful for the principles of CBT which I first learned here. There is less posting n...

Re: Dear Diary

Dear J, can I begin to tell you how I love your post? No, it would take too long. So, so happy for your success and speechless over B. Your approach is the correct one. How strong and capable you are in all ways. We applaud you. You once gave me the link to Dr.K's page on FB and I can read there and...

Re: Dear Diary

Hi R. How nice of you to remember us and share this video, a piece of fitting imagery at this time.

Wishing you and J and M and everyone's family a Happy Thanksgiving. For me it is a time with much gratitude for the past at LTT, time here, at AZ, and the enduring, precious friends.

Re: So Sad

You always had a wonderful way of helping others. I still like playing Ann Landers but have no illusions. People here have the program, I have Lucinda Bassett's book and others. People are helped and leave, or so I think. I have to work at it all the time. Tomorrow I go to a class in Tai Chi, some l...

Re: Dear Diary

Sorry for my poor writing, J. I meant nothing would change re my feelings whether you post or not. They are and will always be the same. I will always love you, is what I meant. And so want the very best for you. Don't you just love R's aphorisms? I walk away pondering and smiling. Yes, you are a ge...

Re: Dear Diary

Dear J, how can you not have anxiety doing as much as you do for so many? Some of us never learned to watch out for ourself, protect our boundaries. Think I learned that from scoochie who loved you. And, yes, we really only have ourself. We must dig to know ourself (Dr. K's Freudian approach) and th...
