...we're sinking deeper.
We all know LL provides a fairly good course of counselling... Now; not all exercises will ring true for us - and not all techniques work. It's all down to the individual to make use of the tools given to us as best as we can.
I guess, out of interest - what have been the most useful sessions to you personally?
I found identifying the "rebellious child" ego state the most interesting. It's been useful for me to personify my cravings, and emotional hunger: as a naughty screaming child. If I assign an unattrative image to a particular bad habit/feeling/craving, then it makes it easier to deal with.
Now: when my head screams it wants something it shouldn't have; usually I picture this really nasty child throwing a tantrum - and I just say 'No' and wave my finger at it.
I suppose that's the CBT lesson which stuck with me the longest out of all the LL meetings.
How about yourselves?
