Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hi I am new to this group, but have been struggling my way through Steve's ACT workbook since it came out in the uk last november. Obviously some of the exercises I have found easier to relate to than others (my first thought was to set fire to the board with the lighter to release the screw!). For me one of the major problems is to remember and manage to defuse, I found it extraordinarily hard to come up with one of my own defusion techniques that works. (I confess that I skipped doing that when I worked through this chapter again more recently). Right now I have got as far as the willingness chapter, I am carrying around a piece of paper with a head with my painful stuff on. Part of me like really feels this, and wants to cry when I touch it, and I feel very distressed & uncomfortable. A (?rational?) part cant see why a piece of paper should give me such a hard time. Yesterday I managed to walk down the road, keep breathing, and hold the paper in my hand in my pocket. WHich seemed like progress, but I am finding my mind is saying NO to the next big question at the start of chapter 10. My guess is that I should keep going through the book anyway, but should I go back over some other part of the book until I can answer yes?
