You Can Feel Good Again-by Richard Carlson--This book and it’s new ways to look at life, thoughts, and fears helped me more and in ways the others just couldn’t do. It is based on a new branch of psycotherapy called Psychology of Mind. In it you will find out: --How dwelling on negative past events leads away from mental health, and why traditionl therapy so often fails--How your thinking about circumstances, rather than the circumstances themselves, brings about unhappiness--How to access your natural state of mental health, contentment, and peace of mind.
I had such a hard time finding someone to talk to and share with online and I found the few sites with penpals such a good idea I would like to do the same here. If you would like to have your name and email address listed here for others to contact you send me the information you would like to have included in a small intruduction to yourself. Also include anything else you would like...ICQ number, web page URL etc. Maybe, just maybe you could help someone and in turn recieve support. I have made two very great friends this way...so give it a try!
