Kathie Byron, TheWork.com. Experiences?

by Hoffnung in

i just attended a "reducing your stress" training, sponsored by my company, and training staff used the methods of "thework", founded by kathie byron.

in order to reduce your stress, you have to inquire yourself and put everyting you believe in, in doubt.

by the end of the 2 day work shop, i have all my "cult" warning lights on.

If I may inject a correction here. It is actually Byron Katie

Great stuff and I truly believe this kind of help, or any help that resonates with you and what you may be dealing with or need at the time comes when we need it most. Like most help we don't need it forever, nor might we want to hang onto it as a crutch but just to get us through and teach us so we can move on.

Oh and my experience with Byron Katie, yes she helped me to get out of that circular thinking my JW upbringing taught me. It makes you really think about situations in your life which may be limiting you or holding you back. Anyway thanks for the reminder of her incredible work.

i was given the link to a bit of information regarding on old poster/moderator of this forum.

i was not sure of the validity of the information so have been trying to find out if it is true.. earlier today craig's estranged wife, kate, (bikerchic) confirmed that craig died at his home on aug 10, 2011.. i am sure that many people here remember craig's time here and how he went out of his way to offer support to posters, even calling them, to give whatever help he could as they adjusted to their post-jw lives.. i know many people here will grieve his loss.. --------------.

ps i tried posting this earlier but the computer i was working with would not allow the posts.

creativespirit: " My condolences to Kate; you were lucky and blessed to have had him as your mate."

I truly know this and I know I am in such a much better place today for having Criag in my life. I'm not sure too many people can understand this, possibly only those who have gone through simular experiences. He gave me so much and he always said how much he loved coming home to my smiling face. He did make me smile. He was a very unique person that few took the time to know, one of a kind.

I once wrote that Craig is the kind of man who could taste the salt of my tears and could always calm my fears. I miss him.

Thanks Lee, I felt it was something Craig would have wanted. He found so much solace here on JWD he wold have wanted to thank those who cared enought to think about him.

Doug it was so good to talk to you! You know Craig thought of you and AlanF as brothers and your friendships and conversations meant so much to him. You take care of yourself and lets keep in touch!

Scully, yes he had an infectious laugh, a wonderful smile and a very warm hug. Hey I'm glad you got at least one out of three. ;-) Take care dear.

I've been trying for a few weeks to find the words to say in reply to this thread. I mostly want to thank everyone for their condolences I deeply appreciate them and know it would have touched Craig very much as well to know you cared.

Facts; he died due to complications of alcoholism, most likely heart failure as he had collapsed in his apartment ready to take the dog out for a walk. It was two days before he was found by the Sherriff’s Department doing a welfare check for the apartment manager.
We had been separated for almost two years, due again to complications of his alcoholism.
Craig was a dear man and I deeply cared for him, he was the love of my life and I am sad that he is no longer here.

It's been cathartic going back and reading some of his posts, I remember them like it was yesterday and can hear his voice, see his face, his smile and it makes me miss him more, yet it also comforts me. I think it's great that I have this to remember him. JWD meant so much to both of us for such a long time and it's nice to see our first years together chronicled (warts and all) here.

So thanks to everyone, thanks to Simon for this place, it's a place of healing and a place of many caring, kind people like y'all.

Regards,

~Kate
