> ••How do you discover the beliefs we have deep down about ourselves, and our underlying assumptions about the world?
>Ask around-Find a therapist who is familiar with your issues. I raised two alcoholics as a child and the two therapists that really helped me were recovering alcoholics. After we developed trust, I would go to therapy a few hours a week and BLEED. I think that our beliefs are in plain view...just watch your actions. Better yet, let a good therapist watch and listen.> ••Especially when you have things like depression and rapid cycling bipolar disorder?

> ••or should you even try when you have these types of disorders?>>It's nice to be stabilized somewhat for therapy to sink in but, yes, you should. To just do meds and never give therapy a chance, in my opinion, is a very big mistake.
> any ideas? any book recommendations?> If anyone on the planet still has not read it, The Road Less Traveled is a pretty good start.
