Hey JunkDNA! I read Young's book that's targeted towards self-help, and really *loved* it (though honestly, I didn't follow through and do anything with it).

I think schema therapy looks very interesting, and like it could be a huge help. No direct experience though. I really wish there were folks near me trained in it, but as far as I can tell from internet searching, there's not.

Though you know, I know my T knows some CBT. I wonder if I brought him the book on schema therapy what he'd think about it. He also does psychodynamic (and a few other things), so he might be in a good position to make sense of it, if he finds it interesting... I might have to think about that.

Good luck with it, and please feel free to share your experiences! I'd love to hear more about how it goes!
