This thread is designed to be------Positive.
This thread is for discussing experiences and assisting those who may be looking for self help techniques.
Recently--self compassion has been a breakthrough in helping self overcome difficult emotions. As well as neurological based applications (very similar to below two approaches).
And for example--Cognitive therapy/Rational Emotive Thinking--is a fantastic method of learning how thoughts affect--mood, outlook and general well being.
So--anything one would like to discuss with the goal of feeling good and understand self, and behavior.
Cheers to all!

The success of cognitive behavioral therapy is well known; many people consider it the most effective therapy for depression. What is not widely known, at least in the United States, is that you don’t need a therapist to do it. Scores of studies have found that online C.B.T. works as well as conventional face-to-face cognitive behavioral therapy – as long a there is occasional human support or coaching. “For common mental disorders like anxiety and depression, there is no evidence Internet-based treatment is less effective than face-to-face therapy,” said Pim Cuijpers, professor of clinical psychology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and a leading researcher on computer C.B.T.
