I tried this therapy with my therapist and the workbook for a few months - not that impressed...I also felt that it has Buddhist/Eastern overtones from the start andthat made me somewhat uncomfortable...also, I was not 100% comforatble with my therapist either...that said, this therapy may be great for some but not for others. I think it probably just depends on the individual. I think CBT may be a better option for me...
