I found it surprisingly relevent. I was expecting to maybe hit a few, if that. It fit so well that reading it off my wife was saying YES before I was finishing reading some of them, for pretty much every one.

@Gwen D Renee I am finding as time goes on I am understanding and seeing more of the top ten distorted cognitions in my thoughts, perceptions, actions, beliefs and ruminations. It will be interesting what you notice over time and how your understanding will grow. I look forward to hearing what you discover. I learn a lot from members on this forum.

Good Grief! This is the first time I've seen this list and it very much describes my family of origin. All who were a part of the family were expected (demanded) that one subscribe to these dynamics (and reality as defined by whoever the reigning Alpha-person was at the time) or you were made to disappear (pictures of you cut out of family photos, mentioning of your name was forbidden.)

I see I have work to do. Lots and lots of work. Though the realisation stings, I'm glad you posted this list.

I'd been in a similarly-structured programme years ago. One of the hardest, best, and most needed experiences of my life. I hope your experience there helped you on your journey.

@SeedMan - I think it helps to know. It is a lot of work then.
