PROGRAM

[missyrachy]

I did this back in 2003 and the program helped me to channge my life. Today I stumbled upon some negative reviews and I was surprised! I really felt like it helped teach me coping skills that I lacked. I have since fallen into a bad place and this is where the secondary gains comes in. Unhappy relationship and hello anxiety. Lol. So there we have it. I was considering doing the program again but I wish there was an online version of it. Or maybe a condensed version. Being a mom, full time job, and part time student I am so busy...

It has been quiet around here so it is good to read that the program did help you in the past. The negatives, I'd say, stem from people's expectations, or so I think. We must meet any CBT effort at least half way.

People have returned at times to do the program again. And, yes, it is very hard to fit it in, but it is important enough to give it whatever little time you can. Some people have mentioned listening when driving or maybe doing other tasks where you can still listen in. Just some thoughts. Wishing you the best.

Although I have yet to finish the program, I am also suprised this would get bad reviews. I agree with Tina in that it is likely due to others expectations.

I do love the idea of a condensed version, but I don't think we would then get all out of it that we need. I do understand being so busy. As Tina said there are many times we can fit it in that we might not have thought about. I listen to the sessions on my way to and from work. The workbook I do when I can. sometimes even at work. I know I am not always able to follow as it says, but I do try to at least work at it a little each day.
