Book suggestions for obsessive scary thoughts?
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had any good reading suggestions for overcoming fear of obsessive scary thoughts?

Any CBT book would be good for that but my favorite is Been There, Done That? Do This! by Sam Obitzhttp://www.tao3.com. The TEA form exercise in it is great for changing and eliminating those scary thoughts.

Okay, I finally ordered this Sam Obitz book and I should be getting it in the mail
in the next few days, then I finally understand what these TEA forms are.

I have been thinking about ordering this book also. I have heard a bit about it. especially on here. Let me know what you think when you get it. I will probably order it when I'm doing with the book I'm reading now... the "what to say when you talk to yourself"....

dear iwillbebetter: I think I tried to read the book that you are reading, but I could not get into it.
Is it that book that talks a lot about "programming" and was the book written quite a few years ago?
I think it is a little paperback book, right ? I think this was a book that was recommended reading
from the workbook in Lucinda's program.

I think you'll like it. It's an easy read and the TEA forms are really simple but also really effective when used regularlyLyndaLu wrote:Okay, I finally ordered this Sam Obitz book and I should be getting it in the mail

Re: Book suggestions for obsessive scary thoughts?
I am done reading the book and I did some "TEA forms" this evening . It went pretty well, but I think it will take me
some time to get used to writing my thoughts down on paper. I cannot always identify the specific "error" and this
is what trips me up. How exact do I have to be on the "error" part . It is hard to know what my own thoughts mean.
I am sure with some practice, I will get the hang of it . I am probably just over analyzing everything and making this
task much harder than it really has to be . Does everyone really do this TEA form every day, I mean
writing it down on paper, not just thinking it in their head . Wish me luck .
PS: Does it bother anyone else that the time and date are wrong on all of my postings on this website! Ugh.
It is not 2am here and it is not April 12th either . It is April 11th at 7pm.
That's all for now, Lynda Lu
