The therapy that I was talking about is this timline thing you do - you write down one event from your life for each year of your life as far back as you can remember, you give the list to the therapist and they go back into these different time periods that had bad things happen and try to change the way you think abou the event - sounds much like CBT to me. The difference is that since I am so adhd, this therapist I had tells you to close your eyes and visualize being back in that time period. I could not concentrate enough to do it so she had these little electronic round things that you held in each hand and you would feel a pulse or vibration that would go back and forth and she varied the speed that they went depending on my concentration level as we talked. This was a year ago and I have not seen her since and was just wondering what type of therapy that was? 8-)Hey I like this green beer emoticon!!!

:-*John you are funny - yelling pay attention at me would probably work just as well!!
Seems like no one had heard of that method, but it is pretty cool!!

Thanks . . . Have you ever found any info about it on the InterNet Yet - ? I tried - no luck. The closest thing I could find to it was some therapy that dealt with Post traumatic stress with these headphones that had a beat that went back and forth from ear to ear and sounded like the same concept.

It sounds to me like the vibrations were meant to be calming and help you relax. If that is what it was for, a vibrating seat might have worked better. Of course, if you are anything like me, that might have just relaxed you enough so you could sleep.

Yeah what ever it was called was for a calming effect I guess - it helped with the focus that I could not get.
I am for anything that would help me sleep - I need that kinda therapy, I would pay to sleep well!!!

Spotting Errors in Your Thiking All-or-Nothing Thinking: Finding somewhere in between. 1. All -or- nothing or black -or -white thinking is extreme thinking that can lead to extreme Emotions & Behavior. Consider a thermometer as a guide to overcoming All-or-Nothing thinking. The thermometer reads DEGREEs of temperature, Not Just 'hot and cold'. It's OK to think in 'degrees', not only extremes. 'Both-and' reasoning skills. A healthy alternative to All-0r-Nothing thinking is 'Both-and Reasoning'. You can both be a good spouse AND disagree with your husband about 'stuff'. You can both assume that you're an OK person as you are AND strive to change in specific ways. All-or-nothing thinking can sabotage goal-directed behavior and many area's of your life.

Yes John that is correct and so true for me!! I am an all or nothing person and it leads to frustrations all the time. I like the lines defined most of the time so I know the rules!!! It frustrates me to no end when something is out of place or there is the "moving target" thing going on when you are trying to figure a project out or what your boss wants.
