Dear evipax:

The book you mentioned was the first self help book I read in my life and I was very excited when I read it, many years ago. The CBT book helped but the therapy was necessary to jump start me on the Mindfulness path. The therapy was a combination of CBT exercises and mindfulness, that is, developing the skill to pay attention, to stay with and pay attention to my thoughts, feelings, sensations- still developing this most important skill. This skill is necessary for healing, goes hand in hand.

Than you for the good wishes and hope the same for you.
