Hello to ALL and especially the October Peer Support Group. I am almost done with session 9 on worry and guilt, excellent session, but I was wondering if anyone else did the action plan homework to write out a forgiveness list? EXCELLENT TOOL!! On one side you write what you need to forgive YOURSELF for and the other side what you need to forgive OTHERS for. Sit in a quiet room, with free flowing water to symbolize cleansing and get to writing. i couldnt believe how much I wrote but it was so refreshing and it felt good to get alot off my shoulders and let go! and you have to absolutely be specific and keep it in a safe spot. Best Wishes!

Thanks for writing that post! I attempted that assignment half heartedly. But now that I know it worked so well for you, I'll give it a try and really do it right this time... I found it hard last time to be very specific about what I have to forgive myself for... I never want to write it down, becuase I'm alwasy nervous somebody will find it and read it.

Write from your deepest heart. Write only the truest truth, and when you are finished, run your pages through a shredder, or burn them in the fireplace. The more deeply you go with this part of your homework in forgiveness, the more you will have helped yourself.
When we guard our truths for fear others will be critical, we do not open the door to the full truth. Keep your feelings on paper private. If you fear others will read what you have written, then do destroy the papers.
By the way, Happy New Year.

I've read through all of the material for session 9 and I've listened to the cd twice. I realized today that I'm dancing around the homework because I don't want to think about all of that stuff!!!! I will begin doing it tomorrow...that's my committment to myself. Thanks for starting this thread. I love knowing that there are a couple of you out there that are working in or near the session I'm on, pinkee
