from a recent post on another thread >> I bought the workbook and was determined to really make an effort with it whilst I am waiting for therapy to start. Faced with this question it has thrown a huge blockage and I can't get passed it. Each time I take up the book and think of an answer I wonder away my brain refuses to stay on topic. I can not think of a single time I felt safe, I hate the authors for putting this as the first question it is cruel

I wonder if it's a good idea to start on the workbook before you get into therapy. I can only speak for myself, but T2 spent many weeks with me working on safety and coping strategies and resources I need for when things get tough - at the time I felt it was time wasted but today I am SO grateful that she did that; I don't think I would have gotten as much of it if I had tried to set up all that myself and I know now that I need it.
