Re: Is SA just a symptom of a crappy life?
I remember mentioning the part in bold on here a few times in the past after I saw articles on the subject. It made a lot of sense to me. I know the study this was taken from was small and further...

Re: The Weather Thread!
We were due to go to Riga this month but missed out due to personal circumstances. Anyway, I check in on Riga webcams most days and, as you say, it's brutal over there currently. Actually a rather...

Re: Is SA just a symptom of a crappy life?
I'd probably go with that theory too. I used to think I was born with it, but maybe only because I've never known a time when I wasn't incredibly anxious, particularly around people. Even my earliest...

Re: Mindfulness No Better Than Watching TV
Thanks, Seagull. I'm similar regarding meditation. I have done it, and I often found it relaxing too, but I could rarely ever fully empty the mind. Mindfulness, or at least my understanding of it,...

Re: Mindfulness No Better Than Watching TV
Very good post, Vasco. The part I've quoted above hits the nail on the head for me. I use Mindfulness in a very simplistic way which simply helps keep me grounded in the present rather than wracked...

Re: Last CBT session ?
There is no obligation whatsoever to give a counsellor/therapist anything when therapy comes to an end. However, a token of appreciation for any good work you have done together, such as a 'Thank...
