I was thinking of spending an extra week on this session. I have scary obsissive thoughts about hurting my loved ones, and I know they are just thoughts, but I want to make sure I get on the right track with "talking to myself" in positive ways.
Any ideas?

I think that if you feel better by spending an extra week on this topic, then do that. Spend the extra week, do what makes you feel good and feel better. That's what this program is about. It's about taking charge of your life and improving it. It's quite difficult to change our bad habits. So the extra "study" time is well worth it.

Thanks for the insight. I have started hanging positive afformations around my house to help me remember to keep on track. I bet my firends will get a kick out of seeing all these things hanging around my house. Smiler

I spent and extra week on session 3....i feel it helped me...at the end of the second week of session 3 i drove with my fiance and hour away to the beach which i was really scared about, but talked to myself in the car and calmed myself down. We then decided to go to a waterpark because he had never ben to one before....i was so scared...i don't know why because i have been on all those rides before....but even though i was scared and anxious i went on the rides and while i was waiting in the lines i was able to breathe and think positive thoughts and really try to help myself relax....i was so proud of myself that i felt like i was on top of the world....i'm so glad that i went on this day trip with my fiance...it was a true test to the session....self talk is hard, but once you begin to get it it really does work...i know you can do it too...because i feel if i'm able to do this then anybody can Wink

Yes. I am going to do another week on this as well. I didn't really do the homework like I should have but I'm not getting any sleep so I too really need to work on this again.
