Hi Artemis,
Firstly many thanks for your kind words.
Since I last posted, I have firstly spoken to a member of my foundation group who is now in management and that inspired me. My LLC is/has been aware of my concerns for sometime, and at the meeting on Sunday assured me that there will be a number of people joining the group, who will also be there for sometime, in a couple of weeks or so. That should then give an element of continuity. We are also 'revising' the foundation book, and encouraged to look at it and bring any questions back to group. And my LLC is trying to let us know in advance about the struture of the next meeting. In short, I think what I am trying to say, is that just possibly things are starting to improve.
In the end, I didn't discuss going back to foundation, because of the above and I am not sure that repeating it would be of any benefit to me. As previously explained, I did find a lot of it very negative (contrary to my thoughts about myself) and not relevant to me. As I said to my LLC, yes I have a strong rebellious child, but sometimes you have to be, and that can't be negative, in truth isn't it quiet 'adult' to recognise that. But then maybe this CBT is above me and I really just don't get it. And perhaps that is it. The whole program works best for those who fit the model best and the rest, of which I include myself as one, just muddle along, and struggle or fall by the wayside.
Well, if this is the case, then let us begin to rewrite the model! This diet is too good not to work for all of us. LL just need to appreciate more that we are all not the same and more particularly I will rebel (ask any member of my group)!
