((((((MKAC)))))) the CTH workbook has a range of questions for you, after you write what happened. There were some that really stood out for me & provoked a longer reply; every day i revisit them and write more, and will share with T2 when I see her. they are

** how did you feel when you were writing about this? how do you feel right now?
** what commitments have you made? What steps have you taken?
** what have you learned?

especially that last one. Right after I left T2's office if you had asked me, what have you learned? I would have said, not a **** thing. But oh! I am finding that that's not true at all; and every day I discover something more that I really did learn from this.

Yes, one thing was, I learned (to my disappointment) that my self condemnation did not go away *poof* as soon as the story was told; but there is a lot more, every day there is more.

hope it helps
