Re: Today's Podcast is on Addiction /

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I've just read your posting - my first thought is that the material is

the work, no more, no less - this might sound simplistic, but to be

honest I'm not sure what else there is to suggest.

The concepts are the same, the beliefs - ok, it may seem more extreme

the situation, but maybe only in your mind - for example, is there any

difference between the thought:

" It shouldn't be raining "

and

" He shouldn't have raped me " ?

The only difference I'd suggest is attachment to the belief. And I'm

not totally convinced of this myself, which is why I suggest it, I

don't know for sure.

I remember listening to a facilitation session where someone did the

work on something 'serious' (I can't remember what exactly) and the

next person to work with apologised at the start, saying her

issue was trivial in comparison.

said something like it didn't matter, suffering is suffering -

all issues are equal. That's what I took from it anyway.

Maybe there are thoughts or beliefs you have about being beaten or

raped that could be inquired into, this may help you to feel more

confident about working on these kind of issues with other people.

With love and thanks,

Jon
