I just want to provide a cautionary note about the following tome that I felt ashamed didn’t work for me. And that is what cults always say if you end up not being into it: “You’re afraid/you’re just not willing to really commit to yourself (yet!).” Those fuckers. The added pressure of being offered this kind of help when you really need help is that you feel doubly bad when it doesn’t work for you. The book I’m talking about is called Ten Days to Self-Esteem, by David Burns.
