Esyla,
Glad to hear it. Once you get the book, feel free to post any questions. In the meantime, you may want to take the free "Crash Course on AVRT" at the Rational Recovery Web Site. As for your psychiatrist discouraging Rational Recovery, this is not unusual, since many people in the counseling professions are themselves members of recovery groups, but will not disclose this to their clients. This creates a conflict of interest, as they will try to refer clients to their own recovery groups.
