Funnily enough, I need to do the trauma stuff now. Like....NOW!! But it is terrifying.
I like ACT, and have learned skills(not so great at always using them), and simply love the part where you use your personal values to guide your action to achieve the life you want. I like the Russ Harris book, The Happiness Trap, and he has some great worksheets on his website......but the first time I looked at them, I scared the living bejeezus out of myself!!!!!!!! (triggered much!).
I have stumbled though, at the first exercise. I again picked this book up this morning and tried a bit more reading.....only to come to a section asking me to name my strengths so far on this journey. Can't.....or rather is it that I won't allow myself to recognise any. I put the book away again. SIIIIIIIIIGH. I mean I haven't even got to the 'hard' parts.
