One such thing is nursing. I have my degree and tried working as a nurse for four months, but my anxiety about whether I was good enough to work with people got the better of me. This is a constant thought while working. It is in the present, not the future. Can you help me with a tool to stop being anxious all of the time.

However a hurried answer will generally cause whatever I am feeling prior to the conversation to bleed over into the new conversation.

Your book looks interesting and wonderful reviews on it. I'd be interested in giving it a read. Metaphor is so powerful with this practice. Best wishes, David Arnie,

Another thing that is important is self-forgiveness. Holding on to resentment is like taking poison and hoping the other person will die. We must always forgive, when we don't, we can deeply hurt ourselves. Well said. Another thing that is important is self-forgiveness.
