Get Out of Your Mind

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathy,I am also a new-be to the group and, relatively speaking, to Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life. Thank you for your post. I could relate in the sense that this program has helped have a new perspective on some of the things I know and has helped me know some of the things which my mind tells me have no basis in truth nor do they determine my worth. I am still trying to learn and internalize these two as well as many aspects of the program. So often in my life, I look to the outside for validation and acceptance. Not receiving that has often had very painful and stillhas very painful implications for me which I have a hard time getting over. I am trying to move beyond that now. Best,Phil

This my first post to the group though I've been reading it for a while. I recommend Get Out of Your Mind And Into Your Life, and doing the exercises suggested. Today, I had two rather startling insights, stuff I thought I knew but now know differently, thanks to the exercises. One was uncovering (and/or actually experiencing) the belief that I really can't handle the horrible feelings and the other that the mere fact of their presence was proof my mind was right - I'm defective, unlovable, ugly, etc. etc. Who knew? It was a relief to get these flashes of insight. In both cases, if you had asked me before, I would have told you of course I know about these beliefs and, therefore, I must not really have them. But I did! It seems I experienced them in a different way so I know them now differently. This sounds circular or unclear at best but I wanted to share them because they were quite meaningful to me and the workbook was very helpful for seeing them.Kathy.
