Dear Tritone,

This quote sounds like something from Growing Yourself Back Up

I had lots of training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when I was in my twenties and thirties. When I got to my 40s, I was ready for something different. My current tdoc uses hypnosis and other mind body stuff.


Here is a book I have heard much about:

Growing Yourself Back Up by John Lee

also books on the Inner Child might be useful.

In my first therapy journey I learned about how to identify, rethink, . . .
The next go around I needed more work on my feelings.

Therapists trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), an outgrowth of CBT, use mindfullness, work on distress tolerance, . . .
I have not gone to a therapist who does this, but they are not hard to find from what I understand.

Some people can make progress through journaling. They write it out and keep writing and eventually reach some deep insights.

Good luck Tritone.
You are going to be ok.

M.
