Question about the workbook!!!

[HeathAnn]

Hello all!

I am just starting Combatting Stress and Depression Program. So far, so good - listened to session 1 earlier today. I know the program is kind of "go at your own pace" but is it recommended to go through the session's corresponding lesson in the workbook right after listening to Session 1, or is it recommended to wait a couple of days? I ask because in the workbook on the "Weekly Schedule" page it doesn't say read guidebook until like Day 3. Does it matter?

Thanks for the help! Best wishes for everyone!

Read the guidebook or workbook after you listen to the CD or whenever...it is the repetition that helps and the pencil work. Also, if you need to go at your own pace. If you feel fine..at the pace you've set for yourself, then go with it. But as a person that did Dr David Burns 10 Steps to Self Esteem workbook before I heard of Lucinda, doing the workbook's lesson's is what helped me the most. I didn't have CDs like Lucinda's but I did see a Psychologist. He never discussed the Workbook assignments with me, just checked to see that I did the home work and at the end of each step is a questionaire on how I was feeling and how I felt about what I read, plus a review.
