Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Well, today my therapist put his finger on a major problem. My self-esteem or feelings of worthiness are tied to my actions. (Now, maybe I see why I hate it when I don't feel well and can't do " stuff " like clean house. I feel like I'm letting people down.) That coupled with my poor boundaries etc. are one more component of my depression and nada-nuttiness. He talked about catching my thoughts, challenging them and then being able to change them. I protested that I can't even catch my thoughts, much less move on to step two - so.....that's what we get to work on next week. He says I need to work on trusting myself - that's going to be tough! Edith - I thought this was a tunnel we were in and now I'm beginning to think I've been roped into mountain climbing!! I'm glad I have this group and " the books " . It seems like a big puzzle that I'm trying to make the pieces fit. I don't think the therapy would be nearly as good without the books I've read. He also said that " Man's Search for Meaning " was one of the books he's read and reread, but warned me to have plenty of Kleenex ready. Hugs!
