Spiritual Bypassing Book/Discussion Group

Cool, hopefully it works for everyone Should be fun!

Another thought as I read on: lots of the material seems to be related to the ability to use spiritual practices to 'not have to really feel' what's happening. I've certainly TRIED to do this, and tried quite hard without realising that's what I was doing (I thought I was noting it and therefore not avoiding it), but I've never actually succeeded. I notice though (and I see this often in AA), other people seem to have a real capacity to not feel their feelings - to dissociate - which is a problem, whereas my problem always seemed to be the reverse.

As much as I have found benefit in this topic, and have always wanted to read this book, I am SO starved for reading time lately that I just can't bring myself to commit. What a great idea, though!

Jackson! Have you been lurking for the past many months? It's nice to see you again.

Chris nailed it ... Well, that, and I'm also doing my counseling internship right now. Working with clients is amazing, and it's also VERY challenging. I'm growing a lot, to say the least.

Ona, I haven't really been lurking much. I miss you guys, though. Nice to see the old place humming along.
