I never heard of it. What is it?

@SW-User It's a therapy that is a more deeper level of CBT. For people that are stuck..repeating the same scenarios in there life that are negative.
Aim is to find the core and reprogram it.

@wiltingflower I did that on myself when I was healing from child abuse. I could not find a therapist that agreed with that approach. I had to go the very core and face what happened and I reprogrammed my response and emotions to the abuse. It works.

@SW-User was it hard?
SW-User
@wiltingflower Yes very hard. I had to face the abuse head one and see it as it was. The truth is not always easy to see.

@SW-User I can only imagine.
I truly do not know where to begin...there is so much rubbish to sift thru.
SW-User
@wiltingflower I was like that too. I could not see everything at once so I would only allow one piece of rubbish in my mind at a time. It was usually what was coming out that was beyond my control. I would suggest to start by looking at one thing that happened in the past and examine that one thing until there is not more pain or reaction to it. Your own mind will guide you through it even though it will feel very confusing. Do you have a counselor that will help you through this process?

I am looking for one.

@wiltingflower I can offer peer support. I have no psychological degrees and not been trained in schools but I have lived though it myself. I developed my own technique that worked. I am more than happy to share what I have learned.

That would be nice
