((del12))

I am not familiar with 'The Work', but your post piqued my interest so I did a little reading on the website.

At first glance, it reminds me a lot of the 4th step of 12 step program -- the moral inventory. (Who I resent, why do I resent them, how does it make me feel, and what is my part in this.) I also see some NLP techniques in the 'flipping the statement' concept.

The core idea is to take responsibility for our actions, and to become aware of how our actions/thoughts are impacting our experience. It is about empowering the individual, so we understand we have the power to change our own lives.

I can see how this might be useful, but I also think it might be really overwhelming to deal with all at once. I have often recommended friends do the moral inventory, but I find it easier to break the process down into chunks. First week -- just write out the resentments. Second week -- how do those resentments make you feel. Third week -- what is my part in this.

I would definitely encourage you to talk to your T about this. What part of the process are you uncomfortable with?
