How fast does should this program go?
I think I'm a bit confused about how this program works. I thought we were supposed to move along through the program and so I have been doing that. But I don't know if I've acquired all the skills from sessions 3 and 4 or even 6 and I'm on session 7 already. I'm finding it hard to slow down. I want to keep going, but I'm not sure I should or if I have built up enough skills to keep going. Does anyone have any advice?

Juno,
Do a tape a week for fifteen weeks. You don't want any time to lapse inbetween. You are getting the information you need. Do the workbook with each tape. One week give you ample time to listen to each tape several times. When you have completed the program go back and start again - usually with tape 3 but starting with tape 1 again is fine, too. Bombard yourself with the information. You're doing fine.

Re: How fast does should this program go?
Should I do this program again and again? Or...once is good enough and then just "check it out" and "look back and read notes" and "listen to a few session cds"?
I am learning tons...but I do feel it's fast paced now. I think that's a good thing, though. I just don't want to have to do it alllll over again either. It's therapy. I will take the skills and keep living on, but I don't want to have to do it ooover and oover you know?

Today I have to agree with "Guest", just work on one Session per week.
I have been working on one Session every two weeks and it is just dragging on forever !
( This is from Session Ten )....................

Re: How fast does should this program go?
I think you should do the program at a pace that works for you. If you feel like you are getting what you need in a week then do it that way. If there are certian sessions you feel you could use a little more time with, then take it!! They just offer a suggested way, but you can do it however is best for you!! I find I can take a week in some sessions but then 2 or even 3 in others.

Do what feels right and good.
Sometimes it's hard to tell for some of us because we're in an altered state in a way or we're really feeling vulnerable and sensitive and we're already feeling lost. But, maybe do as suggested and if that doesn't work in time, then do what's right for YOU (once you kinda know). I think it's also hard to kinda KNOW what's right for you, though, because you're always learning and always practising and maybe always think you could always learn more.... Anyways....I'd say.... TRY doing it the way they suggest to begin with-for guidance. Then, take it from there and trust yourself.
Hope I helped.
Remember, everyone is different. And learns differently. And leads different lives.
XX HUGS!

Re: How fast does should this program go?
At least I did my journal today and I read my carry-along card. I am going to listen to the
Session Seven CD now. If I am reading a self-help book along with working the program then
I usually take about two weeks for each Session. Thanks for the hugs.

Keep at it Way to go
Re: How fast does should this program go?
How can I explain this. Well, I am working on the program now for the second time. A year ago this month
I was working on Session Seven, just like I am now ! What a coincidence ! Anyhow, so, I am looking at Page 105
of my workbook. This section states: List below any negative thoughts or statements you have had this past week.
After you have written the negative statement, replace it and write a postive statement on the next line. I re-read
my writing from a year ago and it was sure an eye opener. My negative statement lasted an entire page long
with no positive replacement statement ( how typical ). What is even more amazing is my list of negative thoughts
from a year ago are all of the negative thoughts that I have been having recently ! I am still amazed at
my writing. So nothing has changed during the past year, my same old worries are my same old worries !
I sure hope to be working this program with more success the second time around or I will be reading the same thoughts
and statements in 2013 that I am reading now ! Good Grief.
