“Something to mention… I am Christian. & I personally will never sway or swerve from my Faith, but I do not discriminate against any Faith or Religion… 1st paragraph in section 4.1, Spirituality, addresses this which may have been the Most Difficult paragraph to write considering… This paragraph (only) is likewise shown in Blog Post: https//rise and shine anxiety depression.net/2020/02/14.”

ABOVE is that (1) paragraph which is NO LONGER VALID, besides of course, the noted Post… Realize the Latest/Updated Main/Ref Book (“5th/Final Touch Edition”), per section 4.1 (Spirituality) was SIGNIFICANTLY Modified, addressing the GODLY TRUTH of the matter Regarding being Christian & what the TRUE Meaning of THAT IS, vs. thru 4 Editions, attempting to be Kinder & Gentler with the general populace BUT NOT Speaking the TRUTH in this Main/Ref Book which was UNACCEPTABLE Considering the BOOKS WRITTEN are ALL ABOUT INTEGRITY!!!!!!!!

GOD BLESS TO ALL,

Another way of putting it is, when we are born into this world just like me & lots of negative thinking individuals, we become Insecure & Fragile dealing with our Immediate Environment… With OURSELVES #1, People, jobs, conflicts dealing with Ourselves & the populace.  But when we put in this Work Changing us, we clear our minds eliminating all that negative Self-Defeating Self-Talk we Bury ourselves with into the pits of Anxiety & Depression where we feel we can’t get out of… BUT WE CAN!, when again we Diligently Work this Unmatched Self-Personalized Positivity Process which Changes all this, allowing us to CONNECT with Everything that much Better & Stronger!… Feeling Confident & Comfortable within Ourselves for likely the first time Ever LIKELY, & Most Importantly CONNECTING with GOD & JESUS! This SOLIDIFIES Everything for our Well-Being/Mental Health… This is why I refer to the Positivity Tools/Skills Process in the Main Book as providing an Enhancement of Faith & a Stepping Stone to Greater FAITH!…Nothing Better my Friends when we put This all together!!!!!

From what seen over 10yrs on twitter/X (or any SM media), Easy to say JESUS, w/Attitude!…Nowhere/Anywhere I’ve seen besides This, any other TRUE TOTAL MH Process which covers EVERYONE Really now written over 12 yrs, 10 mos in Main Book thru 5 Editions!  Some partials & maybe more in-depth info about why we get or are messed up as us humans can get… But, it goes without saying that God, our Creator would KNOWS BEST!!! By the way, Kudos to Elon who Changed Things it seems for a bit (about last 1/2 yr) where my posts were shown strongly on the #X/Target sites addressed in posts; prior to that it seems social media would just flush my posts to my profile & No one would ever see them… Now, with X change or?, only about 20% show new/old posts for now; KUDOS to those cause YOU GET IT (for now?)! Otherwise, SM clearly makes it seem we are LOST with MH regarding a TOTAL MH Process of What It Takes with INTEGRITY!  But we’re Not… Put it this way, in that parable form, “This is The Boat, The Truck, The Helicopter to HELP You All”… No TRUE Refutes ever seen, nor responded to…As Book written evolved & I did too, it clearly aligned Stronger & Stronger with what The Bible/God says, along with as Needed Details, for us to shed our Issues, to have GOOD Lives, & allowing us to Optimize as humans…written in Total TRUTH!

God Bless to All!, & KUDOS to those who Continue to Show!!!! But for Many, time to Wake Up!

Good Words below but just finished off Manuscript for the upcoming “5th/Final Touch Edition” of the Book, where the related words are just more polished, & providing greater Depth into matters… So Yeah, all below is incorporated in the Final Touch Edition of the Book, & is Likely the Most Influential part of the Book as it was for me and as it would likely be for others.

As “Spirituality 4.1 (first paragraph)” is written, being Christian, there were always reservations of what was written thru the 4 editions of the Book including the published “Final Cut” words: “Yeah, I do know what the Bible says, but I always wanted to Lure and not Discriminate nor Drive People away from this Book’s stated Matters/Considerations.…… So please, if you practice your Faith through a different Religion, while reading through this Book, then make the associated switch to the name of your Higher Power,  and it should be fitting for you as well .” Yeah, the most difficult paragraph to write to get it just RIGHT!….. but again I never did feel very Good about this, especially more so lately…

Considering what is being said, this paragraph was written in a earthly/humanistic way & not in a Godly Truthful Way/Manner… Of course I had nothing but Good Intent & kindness I was thinking in writing this as such, but below I have added words along with the existing published words in “[[bolded/underined/Blue text]]” reflecting the Christian Truths of the matter.

This acknowledgement over time Really became bothersome and led to this 4.1 paragraph being a necessary stumbling block for me recently, resulting in me to now focus & reflect on this as written below (more or less), as I continue to address this Book to others I meet, planting seeds for one’s Wellness/Wellbeing. Yeah, with all the stressors which were amounting for me in Life recently along with this realization, I hit a 5 month Deep depression/anxiety pitfall… So Painful, thinking I can’t believe this is happening again after all I suffered years back & This Book I wrote which I was convinced to be All we can do for ourselves as humans, the Natural Way, for the Mind (Mentally/Emotionally), SPIRIT (our Faith & Foundation), & Body!!……. But now, NO MORE with my continued Faith Growth as I finally realized, after so many years, the Importance of what is being said below allowing me to finally Let Go of my perfectionist ways I was holding onto thru my whole life till now actually, often thinking I was not good enough in the eyes of God… How wrong of me to feel overburdened as such as a Christian! As the pastor at the Christian church I attend said in his sermon, if you feel you are not good enough for God, well that is a Dead End way of Life… I can assure you this is So True, living this way as I have for so long !!! Interestingly, prior to this acknowledgement & prior to when I spiraled down recently into those 5 months of depression, I always felt I had to go thru a lengthy ritualistic set of prayers daily to feel that I was Good enough that day for God, indicative of living my life per the Old Ways & Laws in bondage! WOW, as I just have now realized this! THANKS GOD & JESUS!

“4.1   Spirituality:

“I firmly believe there is a need to believe in a Higher Power in our lives. Need to identify up front that I am Christian, so I refer to our Higher Power as God, and our Savior as Jesus Christ.  Other Religions may have a different name for their Higher Power and may not have a Religious Being that parallels Jesus Christ; that, I am not certain of. [[There are no Parallels to Jesus Christ as Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of God, who provides the only Pathway to God & Heaven we have as humans… Jesus provided his ministry here on earth thru 33 yrs of Life, speaking & preaching the Word of God, & then provided the Ultimate Sacrifice for the forgiveness of Sins of all mankind as he was Condemned for going against the grain of the old Jewish laws & leaders, was Crucified on the Cross, Died, & was buried, & then, on the 3rd day, he Rose from the dead bringing Life, Salvation, & Peace Of Mind to us as sinners, which we all are really, but certainly don’t mean to be, as we follow the New Testament Principles/Ways, ( foremost are the most Important Commandments in the Bible being the Love of God/Jesus #1 in our Lives, & Love our neighbors (everyone) as ourselves)……contrary to the Old Testament ways if we are Jewish, living a life of rituals in order to be Good with God, or otherwise if not Jewish, if living by the old ways in a sense which tends to keep us in bondage to sin, thinking we need to be perfect and need to hit the bullseye or target of perfection in our quest to be Good Enough for God. How often do we miss the bullseye & maybe the target being as Good as we can be as humans :)? Living the New True Christian Way of Life means we have That Heartfelt Love, Belief, Faith, & Trust in God/Jesus & have the Understanding of the True meaning of the Ultimate Sacrifice made & the Resurrection from death Jesus went thru on our behalf, which combined are The Only Regulation/Requirement we Need, to be GOOD in the eyes of God, as we confess our sins when we know we have done wrong & have that heartfelt desire to improve!! This allows us as sinners to LET GO…..Freeing ourselves of the Guilt & Pains we may feel as we often miss that bullseye or target as humans,… Give it some thought when we don’t live our life as such, and get caught up in that negative state of mind of pain with a domino effect of negativity going on, we lose focus & may lose that connection with God/Jesus . This sets us up for an attack from the enemy where it feels like he is trying to pull us down & tear us apart which might be actually happening?!…. Doesn’t it really feel this way at times especially when we are feeling Very negative & down, in a state of Depression?!!! So the as stated above “Only Regulations/Requirements we Need as Christians to be GOOD in the eyes of God”, brings us that FREEDOM, Sanctuary, & Peace of Mind we all yearn for in/thru Life. When understanding what the Bible says throughout the New Testament it becomes Clear (finally for myself), during the times when the Apostles were preaching to the Jewish People during Jesus’s Ministry, & thereafter, post Resurrection of Jesus, preaching to the Gentiles, that This was/is the Common Message being provided to All!!! To be additionally Clear on matters of such Faith Formation & Spiritual Growth, this leads to one’s Strong Foundation which forms the basis of our Positivity in Life when we get this RIGHT, & forms the basis of our negativity when we get this wrong which will result in down/Anxious/Depressive times no matter how Positive we feel we may be……By The Way: The Positivity Tools/Skills Process in the Book are Strong and are Very Helpful for those if we initially Struggle or Suffer with various levels of Anxiety & Depression going on in Life, daily/hourly, or maybe every minute it seems & feels like, living life with low self-esteem, with little self-confidence, and are willing to really work this Process. The resultant Positivity we can develop thru this process, expedites the process of Feeling Good about ourselves for the first time in life, letting us know our Best is more than Good Enough at whatever we do, our jobs etc.. Furthermore, this process enhances our ability to Connect with the Important things/Matters in Life including people around us, & God, which provides for an enhancement of Faith & a Stepping Stone to Greater Faith!! So then, unless we Truly develop a Strong Foundation in our Lives thru our Spiritual Growth, we will likely crumble, & Suffer thru Life since the Positivity Tools/Skills process alone Just Will Not Cut It (!) in the long run!! But combined it makes us as Strong as we can be as humans! ]]] So please, if you practice your Faith through a different Religion, while reading through this Book, then make the associated switch to the name of your Higher Power,  and it should be fitting for you as well [[??!… Hmmm… Think about this… Based on What It Takes To Be Good In the Eyes of God, or whoever you may call your Supreme Being (Maker of All things), isn’t this the Most Important Issue we all face, consider, or question in our Spiritual Lives?  It Has To Be I would think… So if you practice your Faith under a different religion, Ask Yourselves,  are your Requirement/Regulations to be Good in the Eyes of God, or whoever may be your Supreme Being,  maybe more Ritualistic, more Demanding, more Stressful, or generally seem Over-bearing vs. the Freedom & the Requirements we have as  Christians, as explained above… Think about this…Need not say more…]].  If you are not sure of, or have doubts about the basis of your Faith, then consider the Christian Way consistent with the way this Book is written; sure is Doing It for me :)… Yeah, I do know what the Bible says, but I always wanted to Lure and not Discriminate nor Drive People away from this Book’s stated Matters/Considerations.  In effect, this is written and consistent with the 2nd most important commandment in the Bible: Love Our Neighbors as Ourselves [[Since Love encompasses the Needs to address TRUTH to those around us, although painful at times, so much for this original argument/rationale vs. consistency when addressing the TRUTH.]]   There are Certainly Many Beautiful People who practice their Faith through different Religions and Belief Systems, indicative of what Morgan Freeman’s Story of God series addresses.  All that I can say is, I am not the JUDGE/MASTER, and understand that Only God Knows how we all will fair, when all is Said [[This has been Said/Prophesized & written in the Bible (i.e. Revelations)]] and Done.…………..”

These times are Very Trying & possibly the most difficult of times to deal with so we can all use All the Help We can get especially for matters which have fallen outside our control. So, Yeah, I URGE you to consider the Christian Way & Beliefs, Strongly Suggesting to read the Bible, starting off with the New Testament ( but, subsequently the Old Testament to understand the Biblical history leading to the New Testament) for your own complete understanding & Wellness allowing your TRUE FAITH to Grow with age!!!

God Bless You All!

Info Below has been incorporated into the 5th/Final Touch Edition of Book.

Below  are a few Important Up Front Tidbits which have formulated in past for Others I was Cheerleading for in Process to Work on yourself Properly… Of course Free Cheerleading is always provided if desired, but other than a few Tid-Bits or Key Suggestions up-front ID’d below you do not really need these Cheerleading services as the Book is Complete having gone thru 7 yrs. 4 months of formulation in publishing the “4th Editon– “The Final Cut” of the Book to get it Just Right…

1. If desire to get a E-Book & Work this then Highly Suggest to use a LapTop or a Kindle!  If you are considering to use your cell phone to work from, I feel that approach would be overly broken up when Working on self real time.  If you do not have a LapTop or a Kindle then  suggest to get a Paperback Book instead & if you do that Make Sure you order “New” to assure you are getting the latest version of the Book, i.e. The “4th Edition– The Final Cut” for the Main Book, “Rise and Shine Anxiety & Depression & Life Management Tools.”.
2. When you are “Reading” the Main Book, up front in the Introductory area etc. up to section 5 & 6, if you were thinking about using an audio app to read the Book, I HIGHLY SUGGEST NOT TO!… Often people when they start reading books via audio apps. are often multi-tasking & not fully engaged into to matters which are So Very Important.  For fiction reading that would be fine, but not for this! In the case of this Book I would highly Recommend not using an audio app of any kind, especially when working sections 5 & 6 as Instructed to assure your Focus in Working on yourself here. Later on as a refresher, then sure if you wish to but when you are Working the Process suggest not to!
3. When I was Helping the 3/4/20 Reviewer up front, he had told me he was reading other Books on Mental Health when he started reading the Main Book (The Final Cut) … I told him, Please, drop the MH related Books  Completely (like a ton of bricks…!). Hey there is a lot of convoluted information on Mental Health out there, & if you were to do the multiple reads which the 3/4/20 Reviewer was originally doing, that would only serve to dilute & confuse you vs. tuning in 100% to the Optimum Process written  in This True Self-Helper. I Assure you the Book has All Your Needs & if another MH Book is good then I can Assure you that would be only a subset of what is covered in This Book!But YES, Absolutely, if you are reading in parallel a Spiritually Based Book, that would be More Than Fine :)!
4. As far as being Patient in Process of doing the Repetitive Training Process in sections 5 & 6, the Book makes it quite clear about those matters… i.e. definitely you do not want to rush thru the Process as I did… ultimately going thru the 15 week Process I Learned in like 9 weeks time Mistakenly which I Paid the Price of Impatience thru 10 yrs thereafter actually, not realizing the mistake I made until I read the Instruction of what to do or not to do those 10 yrs later…  But also as I address in Book you Definitely do not want to to stall out in Process since there is So Much to Learn along the way… The Book Process is an approximate 12 week Process as I was readily able to compress the 15 week schedule I Learned from into a 12 week process , as it came out without missing a beat, which was quite evident as I realized the not Good but Tremendous Positive Impacts this was having on 100% of those who Tried & Worked it diligently, with Book in hand only... Each of the section 5 & 6 subsections Suggesting/Requiring repetitive Training are geared to Try to complete each of these subsection in one weeks time… Extending some of those to 1 1/2 weeks should not post any problems… & Maybe 2 weeks MAX would only be Suggested if Needed… But we Certainly want to keep the flow & the Learning a going!    This is Important so as not to significantly impact the  Reprogramming Process going on per the Repetitive Training you’ll be doing.

—————————–

NOTE:  Something to bring to your attention regarding an Oversight I have in the Book per section 1.1, Item 2) towards the tail end of the 1st paragraph:

“…..Guess what path I had to follow, when I was truly at Rock Bottom in my Life? Written material alone was not good enough since I was so desperate, anxious, and perplexed, and I was not really in a state of mind to be able to read or comprehend things in my A & D saturated mind.  Of course, I did not have this Book in hand.  But even if I did, as bad as I was feeling, I would likely have fallen into this category 2), and ordered Lucinda’s (Midwest Center’s) program which is consistent with the fact the “Attacking Anxiety and Depression Program” was geared to and was advertised for those most afflicted.”

In reality though just like section 1.1 Item 1) identifies as a Suggestion & as Section 1.9 furthermore infers, the Meditation Routine is something we do from the Get Go when start Working the Positivity Tools/Skills process per the Book or Program Learned from (i.e. as ID’d in the Book in section 5.2…). That allows us to Calm down our Minds to be able to Read & Comprehend matters to accommodate this TRUE Self-Helper; hence no difference between the Book or the Program/Workbook I Learned from regarding Reading & Comprehension Concern. (Further details of this included in a Blog Post written: https://riseandshineanxietydepression.net/2022/03/28 )

Below is the subject DM provided to a Young Lady on twitter who has been Suffering Terribly for a few years now…  I have been trying to HELP this Young Lady since the beginning of 9/21 at the time prior to her initiating her 4 months of residential treatment/care working the supposed “Gold Standard” as designated by the Mental Health Community, i.e. the ERP Process… If you look at matters now for her, she really is worse off Now than ever before as her Anxiety/OCD condition has resulted in Serious Depressive Issues as well which is the typical progression in ones Mental Health when one does not take care of their Anxiety/OCD Issues Properly… That was so readily predictable!! As the DM addresses I provided a quick Analysis of the ERP Process she went thru letting her (& all) Know how limited it really is vs. the Self-Personalized CBT Mental/Emotional Repetitive Training Process I LEARNED ( included in a provided Blog Post https://riseandshineanxietydepression.net/2021/10/27/ ) & Wrote of along with Additional Needs & Elements provided which forms a Total/Complete Process which solves our Anxiety/Depression Issues which forms the umbrella of Pain we all Feel & Deal with for Most MH Issues we are tagged with… What has been going on here for her, goes to show ya what really is Trending as far a Mental Health & Typical Treatment the MH Professionals are guiding us to in this day & age……For whose benefit we need to ask??!!! It’s Really SAD!!!  For their $ desires or for the Good of the Patient Involved we wonder?…… “The 4th Edition–The Final Cut” Book written addresses what is going on in Mental Health considering my Numerous years of MH Related Experiences including having gone thru 4Xs in psych wards, out-patient care, & private sector pros, all I have witnessed, & my Objective view of matters which I summed up as  “NUMBING” which it Really Is!… I wrote a Blog Post encapsulating that part of section 1. in the Book: That Post & Link is https://riseandshineanxietydepression.net/2019/09/05 … The bulleted items below briefly address the Sad Case of affairs which have resulted in a cluster…. whatever you want to call it & has led us to where we are now, with MH in this World, generally speaking, just getting Worse with No Change in sight…   

• A Key reason “stems from the only Biblical statement which I address in section 4: … i.e. “We can’t have two Masters, God and money… we are going to Love one and hate the other” … so which way is Society, or us humans taking us (as addressed in section 4.4)?  Yeah, the Very Wrong Way!” YEP GREED as we have Generally selected the Wrong Master in our Lives, $s over GOD!  So between the $s being made by the MH Pros & the Pharmaceuticals, the Approach of pointing to the Meds as the Predominant Approach to deal with MH Approaches for Therapy Will Never Change!

  • Of course this caters to the state of the Extent & Rates of SUFFERERS or those who Struggle who roll thru the Psych Wards/MH Hospitals these days, more now than ever before, as I did 4Xs thru as Sufferers are Desperately looking for Necessary/Immediate Treatment!   Bottom Line, the only way the Pros can do a Quick turnaround of Patients is to bottom line, Medicate them, 100%! Understandable, looking for quick fixes but those quick fixes are NOT PERMANENT Means of Properly Dealing with our Issues which is Never brought up to the attention of SUFFERERS & where to seek such Permanent/Natural Solutions from in the psych wards/MH Hospitals I was resident in, 4Xs thru again, leaving us disillusioned about the Meds being the only way out,  like a hampster in a cage on a spinning wheel, running like hell & getting nowhere with ZERO Proper Direction… Only the Meds Rout….RRRRRRR !!!… Instead of Numbing the Ways we think, operate, & react to things we NEED TO LEARN how to CHANGE the ways we Think, Operate, & React to things, Underreacting to Everything in Effect which is what it Takes to Amend our Issues Permanently! That’s what I Wrote of…

  • What stems from this, consistent with selection of the Wrong Master, is how the Education System was geared… Not Very Good at all as I’ve witnessed! Since the MH Pros Preach how they are Taught they cannot be held accountable for Problems/Complications dealing with those who SUFFER or Struggle regardless of the end result of their Diagnosis & Treatment Prescribed!  There is no Secret about those running the show of the MH Professionals as they have to Know what is going on REALLY!  With the $s being made the MH Profession Education System in schools/colleges will never CHANGE! 

  • Additionally, how our Society & MH Pros Operate consistent with above, MH Pros are not Allowed to bring up One’s FAITH & Foundation as far of It’s Importance in our Mental Health… WOW !!??… To Think that is never brought up by the Psychologists/Psychiatrists/Therapists to Patients who are SUFFERING??!!, That Is SO WRONG as Our Faith/Our Foundation involves, as I state in the Book “at Least 50% of the Game of Life” for our Well-Being & Mental Health which is So Clear!!!

• Also Key: As for Problems in being human, us humans do not like to work on ourselves!!!!!  This is a Big Big Problem as most of us just try to figure matters out on our own. Besides there is so much convoluted info out there on MH that  no one knows what to believe… People are SO CONFUSED!! As Most of us humans have little if any Experience concerning MH Issues & Matters when they initially reach out to find Mental Health Help in case of Need, & just like if we have a broken arm we go to the Drs./Pros we do the same when feeling the effects of MH Issues going on as we go down the path of the MH Professionals Understandably up front, & often if Desperate, we end up in the psych wards as I have to no avail really as my Book explains. In the case of the Young Lady addressed, she still is All About her Desire to Continue to Rely on the MH Pros Interestingly after All she has gone thru?! Yep definitely some brainwashing that goes on between the MH Pros & the general populace until we Really Experience Matters ourselves & then Realize, Definitely It Is Time To Change Course! But in What Way???!!!… That is Completely what I Wrote of!    

Here is the DM as provided to the Young Lady:

Hi Young Lady, Sorry about the length of this, but For Very Good Reason!   In light of a tweet/comment provided to your tweet on top of your site showing the OCD Debilitating poster on 2/14/22, I Urge you to read this for your benefit needless to say. Please Read it Twice… Yeah, I think you have been working thru that ERP Process for well over 2 months, & well past 6 weeks by now from what I understand as of 2/25/22.  Unfortunately, I haven’t heard Significant signs of Improvement going on which I KNOW you would have shared on twitter if such was the case by now per the ERP Process! Other than showing a few pictures of yourself, being in a picture with a Friend, & your Mom, which is at least some level of Improvement, & Thanks God for that!.. I Pray for you Every Day in your endeavors to get better! But Honestly, compared to Book’s Process, if you Tried, ERP is not doing you Justice! Per Book’s Process, 4 weeks from start working the Repetitive Training/Reprogramming Process in section 5 of Book, we are then ready to get out there in public to work our Skills, after going thru the 1st Step Conditioning process, calming down our minds, & associated Tools/Actions, then getting to next Step Skills we learn upfront to deal with Panic issues (or compulsions in your case, prior to getting to the next section in 5), & then per the last step in section 5, Learning/Working Tools/Skills dealing with Conversions in thoughts from being negative/unreal, to Positives (which puts a slam dunk on all Panic issues). It’s not really scary at that time getting out in public & working New Skills/Tools, but instead is Challenging & Exciting when do , since,  you’d be more Ready than ever before really out in public with the knowledge you’d have in place vs. in prior unprepared Suffering times, & besides, knowing you’re taking Great Strides to achieve your Ultimate Goal to be Truly Free in Life where this is leading you to :)! Yeah, you would have read thru the Book well before this time & would Realize this  Positivity Process Does Make Total & Clear/Compete Sense….Thereafter, within 6 weeks of Working process, about 2 weeks into sect. 6, we begin to have Tremendous Positive Impacts starting to permeate thru us which is nothing short of Mind Blowing, Seriously!!!… e.g. the 3/3/20 Reviewer (on Amazon) who Suffered with “Anxiety, Depression, OCD, & PTSD his whole Life”, wrote his Review “Life Changing” just at the 5 week mark :)! & Now  he is doing like I am…. Solid as he can be :)! As for me, being That Worse Caser for too many years, within 6 weeks This Happened (minus the Help from a Cheerleader as I am now) !… A Couple others I witnessed, as shared in Book, saw Amazing Results: within 2 ½ months, not knowing when they truly started into sections 5 & 6 & doing the Work?…. &  also at the 5 week mark upon just getting the Book, for a young 17-18 yr old who was in panic when met him! Blog Post I wrote addressing the Tremendous Positive Impacts seen with Book in hand for All those I came across including those who provided Reviews & those who were working Process, minus Reviews…& for Son & I working the Program purchased Clarifying the Power of the Book’s Total Process by comparisons; this Blog post provided which also shared up front on All Book sites for the Book is https://riseandshineanxietydepression.net/2020/03/10.   Per this comparison, the Book Process Appears to be equally as Strong vs. doing the Program I Learned from & Likely Stronger with additions made beyond what Learned… Then with section 4 matters addressed, it does Trump the Programs Process which does not include the Powers in FAITH, & Merging the Positivity Tools/Skills with Prayer etc. Go to the very 1st DM I provided you, & that DM includes that Blog Post & Link (now shown above)… Recently, on 10/27/21 I did a quick analysis which resulted in my reluctance of the ERP Process’s Effectiveness you decided to do vs. working the Optimum CBT Process I Learned & wrote of… Definitely Prompted by you & my Concerns of you being So Gung Ho & all, being commited to that ERP without even giving the Approach I wrote a thought or a Try…  Blog post written addressing this evaluation of the differences between CBT Processes (the Positivity Process) I LEARNED, vs. other CBTs including ERP looked into, made it Clear the CBT I Learned is Optimum by comparison! Just being Honest!! Hence, the effectiveness of what it sounds like you are sensing/feeling, per the ERP Process which seems Very Limited & Lacking by comparison, vs. what the Book’s Process Effectiveness has Proven to be …”Life Changing” & “Life Savings” when a Sufferer Just TRIES! That CBT Evaluation Blog Post link is:_ riseandshineanxietydepression.net/2021/10/27….   Please give it a Read!… As for the $s spent one vs. other, considering $s spent & Effectiveness considerations, not even worth thinking of cause it would be alarming!… Even if I did not offer you a freebie ride here which I am offering, you’d have to pay max $s= E-Book in e.g. pdf format ($4.99), or Paperback ($19.99 max), + the Intended & Highly Recommended Relaxation Media which originally was a freebie YouTube link, but no more as owner of Media now (not the Lady X-Sufferer who generated the routine & who I Learned from) is charging $20ish (outside my Control needless to say)… Sooo $25 ish to $40 ish spent total, vs. residential ERP where you are going on month 3??!!! Can’t even imagine what they are charging!?… I personally spent with Insurance kicking in some $20K for MH, per probably 20 days in Residential care, & then out-patient care, & some private sector “Pros” back like 12 to 22 years ago as a snap-shot of $s back then.… & as stated I Learned Nothing of what it Takes Naturally, which provides Permanent Results which I was So Lucky to have come across, LEARNED & EXPERIENCED to Understand what it Definitely Takes in Life, For Life.  Yeah, I provided a ton of info above in DMs, excluding some details about this evaluation post… Although, I did put this information & link, in various tweets to All starting 10/27/21 time frame as I was hoping you would read into it prior to doing your ERP Excursion which you were already committed to go thru. Yeah, I do Understand, being inexperienced with MH Issues & MH Reality, like most, you automatically gravitated to the PHDs & Drs. being a Sufferer with MH Issues & just like we do for other things when feeling Issues or Pains, we go see the Drs.… You’d think they should Know Best, Right? Sorry & Unfortunately, but So Wrong in the MH world as I’ve Fully Experienced. I generated a Blog post capturing words which exist in the Final Cut of the Book written, entitled NUMBING! Go to DM, my message generated Oct,15/21 & that includes that post if desire to read some…  At least you were Smarter than myself & picked maybe a more viable CBT type approach which is a heck of a lot better approach than what I saw in my escapades with a gauntlet of MH pros & the meds… Hey, some times we have to go thru more disappointments until we find out what is Best to deal with our Issues… So, Yeah, DA me (you Guessed it :)) took 25 yrs to finally Realize what I needed to do to Begin my Recovery.
