I have found The Work of Byron Katie to be a useful tool in conjunction with cognitive behavioral therapy.
What is The Work?
The Work is a simple, yet powerful, process of inquiry that teaches you to identify and question thoughts that may cause you to suffer. It’s a way to understand what’s hurting you, and to address your problems with clarity.
People who do The Work as an ongoing practice report life-changing results, such as:
- Alleviation of depression: Find resolution, and even happiness, in situations that were once debilitating.
- Decreased stress: Learn how to live with less anxiety or fear.
- Improved relationships: Experience deeper connection and intimacy with your partner, your parents, your children, your friends, and yourself.
- Reduced anger: Understand what makes you angry and resentful, and become less reactive, less often, with less intensity.
- Increased mental clarity: Live and work more intelligently and effectively, with integrity.
- More energy: Experience a new sense of ongoing vigor and well-being.
- More peace: Discover how to become “a lover of what is.”
If you are interested in doing The Work as part of your therapy, I would be happy to assist.
