Amen to that! It sure beats the alternative but it feels good to check in at a place like this and help others too. I am going to try and do a better job this year than I have recently at helping others on here get where i am today:)

Let me know if you have any questions bobbydazzler as I would be happy to help if I can. The TEA forms are great but you have to do them daily to get the most out of them.

Hi Joy,
The TEA forms are just a simple and effective exercise that are the main exercise in CBT treatment. They were popularized in the book by Sam Obitz and Michelle Craske.

Ironically I just sent you a note on another thread five minutes ago, inquiring as to how you were doing with the TEA forms. So glad you got the book (did it make it to the UK quickly or not?) and found it encouraging. The TEA forms are great once you get the hang of doing them but well worth the early struggles:hugs:
Just remember they don't have to be done "perfectly" to work well and you will get better at doing them with daily practice:flowers:

it arrived in just over a week roughly which is quick i think from america, the book is a good eye opener into tea forms, gonna try the counter method mention in the book with the tea forms seems a good way of keeping record for the forms. been using the tea technique in my head and already been helping abit gonna start writeing it down soon. how long you done them for ? seem much different to befor you started doing them?

I used both counter exercises in the book as well and they were complimentary to the work with my TEA forms. I think you will notice even greater improvement once you begin writing them down. Obitz warns that although it is okay to do them in your head, it's the writing them down and countering them that provides lasting and deeper relief. I started using the TEA forms over five years ago now. I don't even resemble the worrywart I used to be when I first learned them anymore. I can honestly say that all the effort I put into the exercises and my personal growth have paid huge dividends in every area of my life today:yesyes:
It's hard work but I am pretty sure if you put the effort in you will achieve similar success:hugs:
Re: CBT/The Obitz book/tea forms
