The Mindful Way through Depression [was Re: Re: New to this group

I like the book, too, and may go back to it now that I'm on the ACT road. I've worked with Jon Kabat-Zinn materials before, so it feels like "home" to do the meditation CD that accompanies the book.

Hi Kavy,Sounds like a great book. The authors are really well regarded in the area of mindfulness, and that is why im interested in reading it. I am currently going through my 3rd major depressive episode in 10 yrs. But this time, im feeling im getting through it quicker. I dont know if its because of the the meds kicking in, or the fact that I am more accepting of the feelings and thoughts this time, and am taking more of the ACT/mindfulness approach than CBT. Maybe a combination of both. Given the author's recommnedations about waiting until you are through an episode to use the book, i might hold off a couple of months before getting it. I want to finish my other ACT book for now.Thanks for explaining the difference between hardwire and softwire. I didnt know about this. I had always thought that once i have had one episode, and then my second, its pretty much certain i will keep

having them the rest of my life. So there's hope to unlearn this behaviour.T.> > > > > > >> > > > > > > Hello there,> > > > > > > > > > > > > > I am also new to this group too! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Are you currently reading any books on ACT?> > > > > > > > > > > > > > Take care,> > > > >
