I thought I'd post this link up - not sure if anyone's read him before.... but his description of how going back and re-living the childhood pain really made sense to me.

This is lovely. Thanks 
Very informative. I was talking to a friend about therapy and he had counselling that was more CBT based. I agree that it depends what you've gone through in life to what therapy is right for you. CBT was good for him because he didn't have a bad childhood but was plagued mainly by insecurities with regard to his case of severe exzema that caused him a lot of skin wounds which put his confidence down. Whereas myself or a lot of people on this forum...we need to go back to readjust. It's really the only way I think..

Hey FMN
Glad you liked it.
Oh yeah for me too - CBT would've been just papering over the cracks - and poor little me would've been left all lonely inside still. As painful as this process is, it's defo the only way forward for me. It's nice to meet others who are there too as it's such a different experience/relationship.
