Oddest thing: I just looked back through all my blog posts that contain the word "resilience." I remember this book as being very helpful for me when I was in therapy five or six years ago, but as I reread my blog entries that appears to not be the case. Maybe we ended up putting it aside to work on the specific things that I was dealing with at the time, the primary one being self-forgiveness. Odd that I should find that back at the center of things again now. At any rate, that period of therapy was a very helpful time for me, and this book (link to Amazon e-book) was a part of my work then.
My reaction to the Introduction is very different this time from the last time. I guess maybe I realize now that I don't know so much, that I need some fresh answers. I'm not assuming that I'll find them in these pages, but I'm going to restart here anyway and see where it leads me. Even if it turned out not to be as useful as I hoped (or as I thought I remembered) the last time, it may be a better fit now.
If I don't at least get to where I can unreservedly make the sign of the cross again, I'm going to be in major trouble when a next real crisis eventually hits.
