Many thanks for all input - I have got off to a good start, with first words, then phrases and now as Partless says even snatches of (very bad) verse (my verse is bad, not Partless' of course). And I have captured an awful lot to work on with trying to match up the cognitive distortions, and I think things below the cognitive distortions, but I have not yet found the words for that.

Thanks again.
